We finally made it to Madrid. Our flight was 8 and a half hours long! As soon as we arrived in Madrid, even before we settled in to our hostel, we ended up in the Plaza Mayor. This centerpoint for Madrid life was constructed in 1617 . . . 394 years ago! You will find a Plaza Mayor in the historic center of almost any Spanish city you visit and in most Latin American towns as well. People gather in the Plaza to meet, hang out, dine, and enjoy their city. On this beautiful day in Madrid there were lots of people out including many street performers and families.
