Friday, October 7:

Depart LAX for MAD (Madrid). Priority pass means nice lounges the world around! Great sunset leaving LA.









Saturday, October 8:

Arrive MAD. Vigo and Portugal out the window flying in. Spain looks a lot like Southern California from the sky. Evening Flamenco show and dinner. Both nights in Madrid are Hotel Emperador on Gran Via…very nice hotel in good location.











Flamenco at Corral de la Moreria...a trip advisor top rated place, also mentioned in "1000 Places to See Before You Die" A great cultural experience and good food too!



Sunday, October 9:

Morning: walking tour of Madrid, Royal Palace and Prado museum. Evening: bullfight at Las Ventas. Definitely interesting, probably wouldn’t go again. One of the 3 matadors was great and had his bull down in one shot. This other guy had to drive the sword in to the bull several times and was clearly missing. That wasn’t fun. I left after 4 of 6 bulls.
