I just got back from a couple of days in Madrid with my son. Alicante is about 
450 km from Madrid, and I wanted to have a father-and-son trip before he heads 
to California at the end of the month to begin his professional career (aka as 
Real Life where you have to worry about health insurance, car loans etc.).

We had a wonderful time. Madrid is one of the world's great cities. The problem 
is that most visitors only see the tourist traps of Plaza Mayor and the 
surrounding areas. Fortunately, I know the city well by now and was able to 
show my son the REAL parts of Madrid.

Yesterday we walked around the Rastro neighbourhood and happened upon this 
event which included a jazz band and a señorita:

Today's highlight was El Museo del Prado, one of the world's greatest art 
galleries, with two of my all-time favourite painters, Goya and Bosch, well 
represented. Afterwards, we had lunch before heading home to Alicante, and had 
most pleasant company at the neighbouring table:
