Madrid Landmarks Tour of the Old City

Here are some pictures we took yesterday. Our guide, Leticia , was full of interesting historical  facts and stories  about a city we think we know but we learned so much more from her. Her enthusiasm helped us understand the nature of los madrileños, why they are known as cats and also why they all know their way around their city but never seem to know the names of the streets! We also learnt the great importance of the equestrian statue of  King Philip III and she pointed out more places to go back to and visit and where to buy delicious smelling pastries from an old convent bakery. This enchanting part of the city made everyone fall in love again with Madrid!
