Madrid: Thursday, Jan. 9, 2020 by Emma D.

At La Cocina de San Antón with Caroline Hoffman '13
Geographic Center of Spain!

Oldest Restaurant in Spain


Today we visited the Palacio Real with our guide, César.  First we spent some time between the Palacio Real and the Catedral de la Almudena.  We learned that the palace and the church are facing each other to symbolize the alliance between the monarchy and the church in Spain.  After taking a few pictures, we went inside the palace where César explained many statues, color choices and furniture in the Palacio Real.  The palace contains thousands of rooms, but may are closed to the public.  The rooms we visited are very colorful and had amazing artworks on the ceilings.  Then, we split into two groups and chose our own restaurants for lunch.  After eating our groups competed to find four sites our teachers sent us to find.  We then went to eat dinner with Caroline Hoffman '13 who now teaches in Madrid.
