Sunday April 7 Madrid.
We have a great breakfast a the hotel buffet and are off on a tour of the city. We are competing with a half marathon which closes many streets, and an assortment of political demonstrations that are a daily event in Madrid. We are able to get to the Las Ventas bullfighting stadium then off to the newer part of the city to see Picasso’s tower and the local football Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

We are then go to the Royal Palace and the cathedral. Since it's Sunday the streets are very crowded. We walk through the old part of Madrid stopping at a main square Plaza Mayor. The shops are open and it's very lively. We end our tour with a stop by Puerta del Sol. As we approach our hotel we encounter another political demonstration, so we take a detour to a local spot for lunch, no english spoken. We have two course platas del dia which were quite good, including green salad with tuna, risotto, some light fish and beef. We wander back to the hotel for some rest before our big night.

We attend the Corral de la Morería the most famous flamenco tablao in the world, being considered as the Cathedral of Flamenco Art in Spain. Uniting the best tablao with haute cuisine is pure emotion in every way. The prestigious Michelin star chef David Garcia a wonderful dinner before the show. He is a defender of the organic garden, controlled cultivation and good raw materials, its root cuisine stands out for the broths, funds and juices made with natural products and top quality. A wonderful time.
