Spain Day 9: Madrid

Today is our last full day in beautiful Spain. We had another beautiful day filled with sunshine and cool temps. We spent the morning at La Reina Sofia, another art museum - this one houses modern art. This is not my thing, but La Guernica is here, and we said “When in Spain.” We saw several other pieces before I raised my white flag. The boys’ flags weee raised before they entered the first display.

We walked through El Parque Retiro where we heard live musicians, saw a magic show, and walked with all of the locals on holiday break. The boys found a park cafe and had beers and hotdogs. 

We took the metro to Bernabeu to watch the Seville / Madrid match. I was so pleased to learn Mbappe was playing tonight. He was injured earlier in the season, and it was questionable if he would play. We were in luck; he had a game! An assist and a goal. So exiting to see!

While not as flashy as Barcelona, Madrid has its charm. It actually grew on me the longer I was there. But I think I’ll still take Barcelona as my favorite.
