Aranjuez
... a small coffee shop, but all of the tables were full. In the square, there was a band playing. There were also campaign banners all over as this is the beginning of Spain's very short election season. I spotted a cafe across the street; however, on closer inspection we decided not to stop. We went back to the square, thinking we could get a coffee and just sit on a bench in the square. When I went inside, the place was packed. So, we took off ...

"Let's wash all that culture down with a beer"
It's been a few days since I've posted anything, so I'll try and remember what's been happening. Saturday, I had the chance to meet up with two girls from Marquette- Maggie and Julia. We went to a tapas bar and then walked around Sol and the plaza mayor. Sol is an open area in the center of Madrid that is considered the Times Square of Madrid. They say it is the exact center of Spain and that all roads go out from it, like a sun. We stopped at a pastry ...
