We went to the Parque del Retiro twice - this really is the lungs of the city, and very well used by the locals as well as us tourists. The Sunday market in El Rastro was also an experience - so many people.
Not all of my dining recommendations (from the 'Top 10 Madrid' guide) were fully appreciated, but we did have a few nice meals - the tapas was excellent, and sangria seems to make so much more sense over here!
On Sunday evening we headed up to Charmatin station and boarded the sleeper for Ferrol...
