The trip from Valencia to Madrid was by the fast train, 300kph fast. Madrid is just a 2 night stay before heading north to Bilbao. I have been to Madrid before with Alan, so have seen a fair bit of Madrid. But this time i am staying north of the city, so this area is new to me. Some pretty cool buildings and a nice quiet area as well.
It is Sunday and the city is packed with people. Weather wise its a nice cool day with some occasional sunshine. A nice day for walking.
