Today was my first day free from class and scheduled orientation activities, so I took the opportunity to check out the typical touristy spots in Madrid with Adam. We started off with two museums in the Salamanca neighborhood and then headed to Sol, the heart of Madrid, to have lunch, eat/devour chocolate con churros, and walk around the plaza. Here are some shots from our afternoon...
The Estatua del Oso y el Madroño is one of the most well-known symbols of Madrid, and it had moved since the last time I was in Madrid!
"Kilometro Cero," renovated in 2009, is the location from which the distances of Spain's highways are measured.
Per my host mother's recommendation, we headed to "Chocolateria San Gines." The restaurant, which was founded in 1890, is known for its "chocolate con churros" and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
