It’s 60 degrees here and we’re literally chillin, especially in the shade and wind. This morning we went to El Rastro, a Sunday morning market, in La Latina. It’s one of Europe’s largest flea markets, a real Madrid institution and the best word to describe it is madness. We inched our way through a crowded (that’s an understatement!) maze of streets. Lots of fun but we really had to watch our purse as pickpockets love El Rastro as much as everyone else. Lunch at El Viajero also in the La Latina neighborhood. We sat on the rooftop with a charming view and had tinto de verano (like sangria) and brie but moved downstairs for lunch to stay warm. Afterwards we visited Museo Thyssen-Bornnemisza, a private collection of predominantly European masters. The best part was seeing the temporary Chagall exhibit. It was spectacular to see the artistic development chronologically of this great artist! We found the rest of the museum to be boring as it had b-list paintings of many famous artists. Dinner at Ginger Restaurante in Plaza del Angel,12. After dinner we went to a Flamenco Show at Villa Rosa in Plaza Santa Ana. Awesome!!
