Madrid
So Madrid was more of a R&R stop for us. We got there two days before our camino and just planned what we were going to do, did laundry, slept, etc. After the camino we had to go back to Madrid because we had to leave half of our stuff in the bus luggage storage! So we took a horrible overnight bus where they had the heat on all night and it had to be 100 degrees! So needless to say, we didnt get any sleep. Then after we got to madrid we sat in the hostel for 4 hours before we could check in. During that time, we had mcdonalds (closest thing to the hostel) and booked a flight to Amsterdam! We were seriously on the computer looking for the cheapest flight out of Spain that didnt involve France. We just wanted somewhere more laid back that didnt have people who spoke a very confusing language and hated us! So off to Amsterdam we were headed.
We checked into our hotel, napped, and then took the afternoon to travel around and see a little of Madrid. So my knowledge of madrid, other than the fact that they have a restaurant with cheap beer and mini bree sandwiches and a McDonalds that opens for breakfast, but doesnt actually serve breakfast food is as follows. There is a fancy post office, and a cool park that has a small lake where they have a few singles, doubles and fours! I wanted to go out and row so bad, even though starboards rowed all the time (it was a small lake and they just basically did circles). I missed crew a lot. So if you want to go to Madrid, Eilis and I are not the ones to ask for what to do!
