The Mercados and Palenques of Madrid

No major trips this time. I'm here to spend the holidays with my niece who's been living solo here in Madrid. She's off working from 8am to 8pm, leaving me to deal with myself many days of the week. While I do have my favorite haunts here in the capital, I managed to discover a few sites below the tourist radar. I step out of the house almost daily for my desayuno (breakfast) at noon, chatted with the locals, as well as join in in Madrid's traditional festivities.

All together, it's a different, interesting, and more intimate experience for me.

Retired early, but still active. Very involved in celebrating life! I love traveling because I always come back with less cobwebs in my mind. It is as if I empty my mind of all clutter upon departure, and fill it with many happy memories upon arrival. I also like the idea that life is so focused on the present, and my senses are all playing to listen, feel , see, smell and taste everything novel or not so new. The fact that I only have to choose from a limited wardrobe, or use the same pair of shoes throughout my holiday , or work and survive on a single budget make life so much simpler. ... full info
