MNAC last minute and Madrid

One final tour of the Art Museum on Mont Juic. Some of the pieces are really nice, tho overall, I was over it after about 30 minutes.

Quick flight to Madrid and a new adventure begins!

WOW. Barcelona is rather cultural and artsy. Madrid is definitely metropolitan. Sooooo many people!!! It felt a little like New York.

Checked into my hostal - $38 a night and I have my own bathroom, a nice size room and a surprisingly comfortable bed!

Took off on foot to snap some pics before the sun went down. Was followed by yet ANOTHER painter (what is it with these guys?????) who insisted on accompanying me through the Parque del Retiro. Oy.


Tracked down the statue of ´The Fallen Angel.´ Its said to be the only public statue of the devil. Took lots of pics. Carlos - those are for you ;)

Finally found an exit to the park and I very quickly flagged down a cab. Good escape plan ;)
