Madrid in August

Our end-of-summer trip in Spain continued from Sevilla to Madrid, a city Allison and I visited in May 2017. Madrid is becoming one of my favorite cities in the world. On this trip we had an awesome Airbnb very close to the Reina Sofia Museum, with a rooftop view of the city.

Most of our time was spent around the Retiro park, the Lavapiés neighborhood of our Airbnb, or at the awesome Mercado de San Miguel (which we also visited in May 2017). The kids enjoyed the market. We're going to have to go back to Madrid again sometime.
