Wanderings & Witterings

Tapas

Last full day and night in Madrid. We had a tour today to the historic town and former capital city of Toledo. Back at the hotel for a late siesta and shower before going out on the town.

I walked up the Calle Mayor, past the bustling, almost manic, Puerta del Sol and then walked around the main square, Plaza Mayor, before popping in to have a look at St Michael's Market.

What a delight that was (pictured). Various stalls selling different types of tapas, eg separate stalls for cheese, ham, fish, paella and likewise for alcohol. Grab a tapa at one place, a drink at another, another tapa elsewhere and grab a seat at the central bar and enjoy. Repeat.

Home tomorrow (Tuesday) and hopefully catch up with everyone's Blips by the end of the week. That's the plan...
