Our last day in Madrid was a Sunday... Meaning, all stores and malls were closed. We decided to join a tour group in the afternoon, but the meeting time was still at 2:30. We had an entire morning with nothing planned so we asked our hotel front desk for some suggestions. They mentioned that there's a Sunday market nearby so we decided to check it out!
Here are some of the cute things that we found. Great gift ideas too!
I would suggest that you go early. It got really packed in the afternoon and we could hardly get near the stalls!
We headed back to the Plaza Mayor afterwards for lunch. It's the best place for people watching! haha It was especially nice to sit here on this particular day because it was the feast of San Isidro. San Isidro is the patron saint of Madrid and they celebrate his feast day every May 15.
Children were in costumes and the oldies danced around in the plaza. It was such a great experience!
We didn't want to go back to Manila without trying some churros so we asked our waiter where we could find the best churros in town... or at least in the vicinity! haha He recommended Chocolateria San Gines, it isn't inside the Plaza but it is within walking distance. YUM!
