Madrid weekend

Back in Spain!!

At least for a long weekend. Nata wanted to visit some old highschool friends who lived in Madrid while I thought 'hey how nice', and 'hey I also have a good friend of me living there' a French ex-roommate from Valencia (the world is a village?). And there we went, off to Madrid. After an early flight we got picked up from the airport by car, how comfortable....The first day mainly consisted of the highschool friends getting updated, talking in rapid Chilean, with food, drinks and laughter involved :). The second day we had several missions, barber (Nata's hair got a bit out of hand ;)), pans & company (my favourite lunchplace from Valencia as I liked the food as well as the location close to university where I worked), see the KIO towers and buy xmas presents for home.


We succeeded in all missions throughout the weekend, but the barber and lunch mission already were accomplished on the second day where we also visited the Kio towers and had a pans y company lunch next to the towers, excellent!! We also found some presents in the xmas markets spread throughout the centre of Madrid, where the one at plz. Mayor was really the Major one, gigantic and superbusy!! All the xmas decoration lights in Madrid were also very nice. In the evening we had fingerfood and nice talks in which we also invited my French. It was great seeing her again having some great laughs a small break in English hehehe.





Day three was a day of going to the Rastro I believe it was called, a gigantic fleemarket somewhere in the centre of town. The market was spread over lots of nice small streets and squares, supernice, and superbusy. IFollowing that there was a Paella at the home of one friend and after returning 'home' we had one nice final walk in the neighbourhood and did some puzzling (bought at the fleemarket of a Dutch mill hehehe) before going to go to bed early and wake up at 3.40 in the morning!! in order to catch the early early early morning flight....

The End (of a nice weekend in Madrid)

See you next time in??
