coolest shopping street in Madrid I felt.
main shopping street in Madrid in common. Finally got in Madrid for a long flight. We stayed Juan’s place at first night in Spain. He is running artist in resident in Madrid, and we stayed one of the guest room. We talked with him and Ciaro(I don’t know how to spell…), they are also artist. He told me first Spanish conversation “Ke pasa!”, it means “What’s up!”. We are going to use this words lot in Spain. -Where we visit– ・Monte Pinos -very local cafe with small grocery shop. it was first Spanish coffee for me, taste was really great—-and cheep like less than 2€ for “desayuno”(breakfast)-cafe and toast. amazing. Every customer seems know each other, they say hallo and tapping the body. I like this friendly, latin mood. address:Paseo del Doctor Vallejo Nágera, 42, 28005 Madrid, Spain ・ Plaza de Mallorca: not special ・Mercado de Sanmiguel: it’s nice too see what is “tapas” and “pinchos”, but it is touristic place. no fresh vegetable. ・Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía:art museum, famous for Picaso’s “Guernica”. Form 20:00 entrance free. it is super kind and nice that everybody can see such a master piece for free!! You MAST go to see, super impressive to see Picaso’s art work and you can also see the preliminary sketches of it. ・Desigual shop:I happen to visit the shop, at that time I didn’t know the brand. It is spanish famous fashion brand. I enjoyed its unique design and got lovely one-piece dress for this journey! www.desigual.com
