Today we reluctantly left Extremadura and drove to Toledo to drop the rental car. We then walked to the train station and got the train to Madrid. Once in Madrid, we walked just over few kilometres from the train station to our apartment.
After hanging around in the countryside in Spain and staying in villages and small cities, Madrid is busy, noisy and full of people on foot. But there is quite a lot of interesting architecture here.
We had no difficulty in getting to our apartment as John had put our route into the handheld GPS, if he had not done so, we would be doomed. We are staying well away from the centre of the city as the Spaniards in Madrid are known to stay out late and the noise level can be unreal. But we are in a great location, close to everything we want to see.
We headed out to get a few groceries and then had our usual cava and dinner. Tomorrow we plan to visit the archaeology museum and who knows what else.
No photos for today, all you could get are pics of a few turtles, well, more than a few, a tonne of them live in a pond in the Madrid train station.
