Right next to the Royal Palace there is the cathedral named...
I forgot the name. So, but it doesn't matter. I even do not know what to do inside.
So, it's lunchtime and we are hungry and the best place to go to have a snack is one of
the ham museums and the best thing about it is so fucking cheap. You get a bucadillo
con jamón for just one euro. This is a sandwich with serrano ham and a beer also for just
one euro. So, it's shopping time. We are at the Mercado San Miguel and yeah, I will not
lose so much words. Let's go inside and have a look.
It's 2 in the afternoon and as you can see Madrid is quite empty. This is a good chance
to tell you something about the lifestyle here in Spain. Usually people go to work at
about eight until two and then they have lunch and then they have a thing called the siesta.
So most of the shops are closed and they have two or three hours off and they return back
to work at four, five and then they work until eight and then they meet for dinner and mostly
they meet for dinner in the city having tapas and drinking beer, coming together and enjoying
the night.
So, a little coffee break and if you order or if you want to order a coffee here in Spain
or in Madrid, you just say coffee con leche possible and you have to pay one euro and 40
cents.
So one of your highlights when you are in Madrid is to visit the Plaza Mayor and this
is the area around me, the Plaza Mayor. Pretty interesting architecture and pretty, pretty
touristic so I would recommend not to go to the restaurants here because they are very,
very expensive. Instead, you should go to La Latina to have tapas and beer there and
yeah, after visit here at Plaza Mayor, maybe you are hungry and this is why we are going
now to eat some pretty delicious tapas.
So it's dinner time and dinner means tapas in Spain so or in Madrid and we are at one
of the most famous tapas bars and this is called Tigris and here you get, with your
beer, you get tapas and this is a, this altogether, the two beers and this plate with tapas is
just about five euros.
