We woke up this morning and it seemed like we were back home, raining:(. So it is a perfect day for the Prado Museum.
Lucky our apartment is within walking distance and on the way we passed the Ritz :) Too bad we were not dressed for morning tea at the Ritz. Oh well, a pix on the exterior will have to do.
With more than 3000 canvases of master painters dating back to 1100, Gary and I had real difficulty finding our way around the museum. Even with a floor plan and audio guide pressed in our ears, we spent more than three hours in there and only managed to see half the museum.
Gary like the still life of Sanchez Cotan. Probably because of the food and game depicted. Noticed the birds on a stick?
My favorite is the great Spanish painter, Francisco de Goya. Here he captures the Family of Charles IV of spain. Check out the clothing, I'm sure they don't buying anything off the shelf or on line.
OJust making our way home on a rainy day. Here Gary captures the main street, Gran Via.
We stumbled upon this local restaurant - La Cathedral on our dinner outing.
We placed our orders but got something completely different and better as well as the cheapest bottle of wine and it was really good too.
