The day began later than the previous days but the weary travelers needed the rest. Once they got about, they headed to Tapon to get some breakfast. It was noon so drinking beer wasn’t completely out of the equation. After breakfast the trio were off to catch a train into the city. First stop was the bullring where the band would be going later that evening. Some recon work and the appropriation of tickets were foremost. After haggling with a scalper Victor, John and James got back on the Metro and entered the center of the city.
Madrid is just like any other large city with it’s congested streets and throngs of pedestrians milling about. The heat of the day was the worst enemy for the travelers and keeping hydrated a primary concern. The group walked the streets and went to the Plaza de Major going into the various tourist shops.
The hour was fast approaching for the bullfight so the group re-boarded a train and headed to the bullring. After a light repast our travelers entered the building for what would be a true cultural experience.
