A LAZY DAY BRINGS SURPRISES!

7/6/2018

Slept late, breakfast in apartment with sun streaming in. It's wonderful to live like a local, having coffee on the terrace watching the activity in the street below. Especially when a maid is provided once per week. Alvaro the host is wonderful, and has thought of everything--wash machine, hair dryer, coffee maker--all the comforts of home, and more!

​Afterward, a trip to the local DHL to send off a package to the states. From there, the afternoon was spent at the Circulo de Belles Artes, a not for profit cultural institution founded in the late 1800s. It is said to be one of the most important cultural centers in Europe. Picasso once studied painting here. A beautiful building with a rooftop, bar, restaurant, lounge, Azotea,--and the most spectcular views of Madrid!

More shopping on La Gran Via, then time to get ready for a late, light dinner. Tonight is was local in the beautiful and lively, Plaza de Santa Ana, up the block from our apartment, at La Vinoteca. The wine list is phenomenal, as is the friendly service. Carlos was very helpful to me. A nice Ribera went well with the tapas: buratta and tomatoe on toast, sauteed mushrooms and ham, and cod fish croquettes. An after meal stroll, and a nightcap and a local bar, Taberna La Cueva, closed out another wonderful day in Madrid.
