Propagandada

We spent our first week in the center of Madrid, at a hotel called Hotel Moderno. The plaza outside the door was completely populated with the tents of protestors there in solidarity with an 87 year old grandmother who had been evicted from the apartment that she had lived in for over 40 years.

The location was convenient to get to all the sites to see in Old Town Madrid. We visited the Prado, Museo Reina de Sofia, Plaza Mayor, Mercado San Miguel, the area around the Palacio and did plenty of shopping. We also took a high speed train trip up to Segovia one day, where there’s the largest Gothic cathedral in Spain and a very well preserved section of ancient Roman aqueduct.

Here’s some of my best photos of our 6 days and nights in Madrid and day in Segovia.
