last day in Madrid

SPAIN | Tuesday, 11 June 2013 | Views [214]

Today is our last day in th city before heading to Leon to begin the Camino on Thursday. Planning a casual day walking about the city. Just having some morning coffee in our room before heading out for our walkabout. Weather slightly overcast but expected to warm up later in the day.

Just back from a very nice afternoon walking with sreets of Madrid. Spent some time wandering around the gardens surrounding the palace. Not to busy because it is a work day. Stopped for lunch at a small local spot with a patio... St Andres.. one among hundreds of spots to eat here in Madrid. About 27C and very sunny today so the weather has improved since we arrived. Going to chill in the hotel for a few hours and get organized to leave fairly early tomorrow morning for Leon by train. 

Itis just after 10 pm and we finished a nice dinner @ a local restaurant Gastromaquia-chueca a great spot with excellant food and very good service. Went for a cookie afterwards and are now preparing to hit the sack. Leaving for Leon around 9am tomorrow and should arrive just before 2pm. All in all a wonderful time in Madrid and we were surprised how much we had remember from the first time we were here a couple of years ago. This is gonna be a very exciting next couple of weeks treking the Camino..goodnight
