Prior to our Camino, we spent a couple of days in Madrid. Peter found an excellent hotel, Hotel NH Príncipe de Vergara, in the Salamanca district, well placed for the metro. And with the good value rail passes and Rachel in charge of route planning for the weekend, we managed to use all 10 of the central metro lines.
We also did a fair bit of walking ... in excellent weather. :-) As well as the Palacio Real and the Catedral de la Almudena, we visited both the Museo del Prado and Museo Reina Sofia. I loved the Prado; the modern art in the Sofia was more of a challenge, though Picasso's 'Guernica' was impressive.
