MADRID MADNESS

We whizzed through Madrid on our way to Morocco. We stayed in the charming area of Chueca which was flowing with tapas bars and boutiques, especially vintage shops. Apparently forgot I had a camera and only took a few pictures. Here's a look...

The pictures aren't the greatest but this was the coolest vintage shop,  La Mona Checa was just down the road from our hotel. I loved the doors - inside & out! I felt like I had stepped inside a fabulous circus. So many colors, fabrics, and tons of art. They had an amazing selection of clothes, and the patterned blazers and leather bags were to die for. 

Street shot. 

Beautiful sky. Ritz Hotel.

Spent 30 minutes in the pouring rain to get into the Prado... proceeded to spend 3+ hours there I think.

Tree in Parque del Retiro was amazing

So I had to climb it...

Later on we drank cervezas and sipped on some Spanish wine.

That's the gist of it! MOROCCO pics soon to come...
