Chapter Ten: Night falls and the tour continues

After our break, which involved small sandwiches in a little Spanish restaurant, we moved on to the final hour of our tour.

We stopped at the World's Oldest Restaurant. It's legit because it has a certificate from the Guinness Book of World Records and everything. It has supposedly been a working restaurant since the 1700s. That's crazy.

On the rest of our tour, the buildings in Madrid were all lit up and it looked awesome! I tried to take a lot of photos, but mostly they came out blurry.

This is a cool one because the lights were purple! It reminded me of Baltimore when the Ravens go far in the playoffs. Very cool.

This is a statue of Federico Garcia Lorca, a playwright who remains very important to Spanish people. People often put roses in his hands along with the bird that he holds.

After the tour, we went out for tapas y sangria. The food and sangria were both delicious! The atmosphere of the bar/restaurant we ate in was awesome...very authentic.

The next day, we boarded a plane and flew to Barcelona which is where I'll pick up later!
