Next up, Madrid. We enjoyed a week in the capital of Spain. Our AirBnB was just down the street from a lovely park surrounded by coffee shops and tapas bars.

When you’re walking along and see the Museo del Jamón, a stop is mandatory. And delicious.

The Plaza Mayor had a ton of work being done in preparation for the holidays.

Some impressive government buildings.




A stop for chocolate and churros at San Ginés, established in 1894.

The “center” of Spain is called kilometer 0. All road mileages (kilometerages?) in Spain start here.

A few shots from a beautiful urban park with lovely fall colors.





We took a train to the outskirts of Madrid and hiked through a park to a vantage point of the city.


A couple of evening shots.
