Amongst the wonderful places we have visited in Madrid are three of the great galleries of Europe. On our second day, we visited the Prado. This is a huge museum of art that rivals those of Paris, London, Florence and Moscow. We saw works by El Greco and an excellent display of Goya´s work including a painting that we missed in Pamplona.
The next day, on our way back from Anjuirez, we stopped at Reina Sofia modern art museum. Saw lots of Picasso and Dali and a very extensive collection, a lot of which was not to our taste.
Today we spent the afternoon at the Thyssen Museum that included an excellent display of Impressionist works as well as a very diverse collection with some interesting American works and a stunning Constable.

You're really getting some culture, aren't you. I was expecting you to be running around with bulls.
