Madrid

Since the cervecerias we had past the night before were a recommendation and I was getting used to the fact that every restaurant was not the cleanliest, we decided to try eating at one for breakfast/lunch.  It was surprisingly delicious and reminded me of how Chanos next to USC once had a C rating but was still one of our favorite places to get food.




There aren't too many sites in Madrid, but we walked by/through the old buildings, fountains and parks.

Tripadvisor.com rated Cardamomo as the best place for Flamenco so Quinn and I met Ricardo, Ryan, Kevin, and Daniela there for dinner and the Flamenco show.  The singers and the dancers were so full of passion and emotion and made the show very entertaining to watch.  The 7-course pre-fixed meal was so filling that we opted out of dessert.




Later, we headed to Joy, a 4-story night club.  Clubs in Madrid don't open until midnight, don't get going until 2am, and close around 6am.  On the stage, we got another taste of Flamenco as dancers would perform every so often.





With the clubs closing so late, there aren't really any food establishments open when you leave the club but nearby, the chocolateria was still open serving hot chocolate and churros.
