After this I said good bye to Georgie and went to my hotel to rest a bit and wait for the Riveras, Meli and Miguel Angel, our friends and former landlords, from when we lived in Madrid in 1973.

We toured the royal palace in the afternoon which had some interesting pharmacy artifacts and some crazy old violins, and then joined our hostel's tapas-bar crawl in the evening. The tapas were cheap (in fact, I think they were free with a drink), but the quality was not quite up to my expectations. It seems that every tapas place had 4 basic things: patatas bravas, spanish omelette, cured ham ...
