Que Vida.....What a life!

A very interesting afternoon. We met a matador and he literally took us for lunch. He was one of the street entertainers in the Puerta del Sol just near the hotel. For a few Euros you have your photo taken with him and we asked him for a recommendation for lunch. He took us to a great pub with beers for €0.70 each and tapas. We are sure that he got a kick-back from it, but who cares! It was a friendly service and he earned a few Euros fom us and we found a pub that we otherwise would not have found.
After a siesta, we ventured out for dinner around 6:00pm and found Plaza Major full of British football players celebrating.....assume here they won!
We stopped at a place in the square, ordered a beer and a Tapas menu and then asked to order some a Tapas and the waiter told us that they were not serving Tapas.....why on Earth did they give us a menu!!!!
So, we went for another walk and found a good place, shared a couple of paellas and chorizo, washed it down with another beer and strolled back to the hotel, with a detour into an ice cream shop. (TL)
