Travel update: Madrid

My dears! Many of you asked me for an update and images from our trip to Madrid last weekend. My mother and I had a lovely long weekend together and I'm so happy to share the first images and stories with you.

The wonderful gardens of Parque del Buon Retiro are as enjoyable any you'll find in any other European city. Littered with marble monuments, landscaped lawns, ocasional elegant buildings and a romantic lake

Whenever the wheater is fine Madrilenos will from all across the city gather here to stroll. And look the sun is unveiling the first green leaves in the trees.
