Postcards from Madrid

Hello, hello from London!  I arrived in England late last night after spending three glorious days in Spain.  I wanted to share another update from abroad on the second part of my vacation – 72 hours in the capital city and Madrid, thank you, that was fun. With only three full days I was able to cross off a great number of things I wanted to see and do between a walking tour, museums, performances, wine, tapas, and a scenic day trip. 

In a similar fashion with my Hola from Barcelona post, I will be going into great detail about my time in Madrid sharing my adventures from the city and all of the different excursions with many lengthy posts but for now I will leave you with some of my favorite shots, a handful of postcards from Madrid: 

The Royal Palace of Madrid

The Monumento Alfonso XII in Retiro Park

The Entrance of Retiro Park (Parque del Retiro)

Hot chocolate and churros at Chocolatería San Ginés

It was so hard to pick only 12 photos of the nearly 2,000 I took and I am excited to share more detail around each one of these shots.  And while this will be the last check in from Spain (for now) keep following along on Instagram as I am in London, England for the next week. While here I will be working so there will not be a ton of tourists shots but I am sure there will still be a few photos of tea and some with my favorite Brits! 

Have you been to Madrid?
