We took a panoramic bus tour of Madrid today. Afterward our guide took me and Andy to a nearby laundry so that we could drop off our clothes. Andy and I went to the Mercado de Miguel where we ate tapas. I had one that was breaded and baked in a scallop shell with cheese, calamari, and oyster. I also had some jamon iberico on a buttered roll. Then i bought a pastel de belem cake. Andy also had a jamon iberico on a different kind of roll with a chocolate muffin. We bought some grapes and headed back to the hotel for our siesta. Tonight we meet our group at 8 pm for a traditional Basque dinner. Basque cuisine is world renowned thanks to celebrity chefs and the innovative restaurant El Bulli that became legendary after closing in its prime only months ago.
