Madrid is a huge city but it has an extensive public transportation system. We booked a hostal conveniently located next to a metro stop. Unfortunately, that metro stop and a few before it were inconveniently closed for constrution ... so we had to continue our camino at 11 pm in the south of Madrid.
By the time we went for dinner, it was past midnight. We tried a few restaurants but they were no longer serving food so ... we ate at Burger King! Actually, we never go to Burger King in the US. But, Matthew has wanted to go since he found out that Burger King serves beer in Spain. No joke.
In the morning, I went for a "short" walk while the kids were still sleeping. It looked pretty short on the map - except it took me over 2 hours! It was lunch time by the time I got back.
Madrid is BIG. We only had a day so, needless to say, we didn't see it all. We walked a few of the main streets and found a few of the "points of interest." We also found the vents pretty interesting and fun.
We did see the Prado Museum ... while eating oranges on the front lawn and listening to music. We walked through Buen Retiro Park ( translates to "pleasant retreat") for hours - because it is so big.
