Sipping Chocolate and Coffee in Madrid

If you love art and chocolate then Madrid is the city you want to visit. The combination of the two is perfect, because when you max out on the art you can recharge with a coffee or a steaming cup of thick chocolate.

We are really lucky with our timing in Madrid because the Prado has Renoir and Rubens exhibitions on right now. Both are outstanding and then of course there is all the other art in the permanent collection. I will never tire of seeing their Heronimous Bosch collection.

Last night we picked up our nephew Matthew at the airport and today we are taking him around to see some Madrid highlights including the flea market, Sol, Plaza Major and of course lots of art. He doesn’t seem to be too jet lagged or else he’s too polite to complain.
