It seemed like a great idea to go to the prado art gallery which was not far from where we are staying. There was a long line, so we joined to que as it was only 11am. By 12.30 we were still in line and the staff were coming to tell us that we may not get in as it closes early today at 2pm. If only we had realised. A quick search showed the other art galleries were also closing early today.
When we finally got in at 1pm, Peter had decided he was going for a walk instead and left us to tour the gallery. It was an amazing building - I think I was more impressed with it’s size and architecture. The art work was amazing - many old world painters in an immense collection. We really did have a power walk through - but most people there were also on time restrictions. We only had 50 minutes to see the lot! We didn’t manage to see them all but we saw a lot.
Today the shops shut early, so we returned to our apartment for a quick rest. The kids were tired so we got some easy food for them from some local cafe, and they stayed hio e with the 8nternet. Peter and I went up the street to a local bar for a cou0le of drinks. We then went on to a different restaurant for some tapas. It was very nice and relaxing.
