Today we went to the Fuencarral Street in Madrid. We looked along the street and ended up looking around Zara as well as two or three other stores. We then had a leisurely lunch outside on a busy corner complete with coffee and headed to class. After class we went on a tapas tour that was organized by the school. Tapas are small dishes of local food that come with each purchase of a drink. With each drink you buy you get one appetizer-sized plate of food, however you don’t know what food you will get. We decided to only go to the first bar as it was late and we didn’t really want to drink (Libby did have one sangria and one tinto verano though). The dish that we got was paella, consisting of rice with seafood (calamari, shrimp, some kind of shellfish) and chicken. The tapas bar was on the sixth floor of a building with good views. We then left the group and went to dinner. We had a pork sausage (recommended by our guide book) and meatballs with fried potatoes (also recommended). We then returned home and went to bed.
