Day in Madrid

We had one full day in Madrid, so we decided to get on the “Red Bus” tour in order to see all the main sights. There’s too many to mention, and I have to say that poor Madrid got short shrift because we went there directly from Rome. We couldn’t help but say “oh yes, that’s nice, but it’s not really the Vatican Basilica is it?” We had become total tourist snobs.

The one thing I must mention is our lunch destination, we found a little sandwich bar with 100 different types of “mini” sandwiches. The idea is you order 3 or 4 of them. And they were freaking fantastic. Standout was a bacon and cheese and some kind of tomato-based sauce. DELICIOUS! This was just the beginning of food in Spain – which would be in unbelievably good.
