I stayed in an excellent hostel very close to the Prado museum and another one I had never heard of, the Thyssen-Bornemisza museum. The Botanical Gardens were in the same neighborhood. Short story- I visited all three and liked the Thyssen-Bornemisza best.

Of course, the Prada is Madrid’s shining jewel but it is very focussed on Spanish art. The other one had more variety and I loved the spirit of it.

It was too lovely to stay inside so the garden was a lovely break. I flopped into bed and rose at the crack of dawn to catch my bus to Ponferrada. Today was my first day of initiation into my tasks as hospitalera … more on that tomorrow but a glimpse of the journey below.
