Calle Arenal, Madrid

The best laid plans…. When I stepped out into the Madrileño blue skies and sunshine mid-morning, it didn’t take me long to abandon my plans for a day of marking. Instead, I stopped for coffee and churros in a traditional old bar, standing at the same spot as where Bb had had the same breakfast, much earlier in the day, at the bar, looking out onto Calle Arenal. Further up the street, I enjoyed some buskers playing classical music, looked into a few shops and made a little purchase. Then onto Plaza Isabel II and had another coffee. I did mark in the afternoon. After all, it is a work day ;-)

Bb and I met on Plaza Mayor again in the early evening and then went to the same Korean restaurant as on our last visit, Sarang Bang, just round the corner from the hostal, and once again we were the only non-Koreans. Good food, service and price.

All my pics were taken on Calle Arenal, where our hostal is and you can see it’s sign on the second photo.
