We stayed three nights in Madrid mainly to visit the museums.
We re-visited the Reina Sophia to see Picasso’s Guernica and a multitude of other modern artists including Salvador Dali, Georges Braque and Madrid-born Juan Gris. The Prado gave us the Spanish painters – Goya, Velazquez, Ribera and El Greco gets included), and then we went to the Thyssen-Bornemisza museum for the first time. What a collection! Here are a few photos.
If you are going to visit these galleries and you’re over 65 take your passport as you’ll get in half price.
We stayed in the Osuna campsite which had mixed reviews but we found it absolutely fine and positively leafy.
We got the metro into town very easily.
And of course not to forget the Sunday morning market
Fortunately for us it continued until 3pm .
Glad you liked the Thyssen-Bornemisza. I‘d forgotten what a great collection it is until I saw your pictures. But we might have to wait 18 months to go again now that you mentioned the reduction on entry fee!
