Yesterday we had a visit to the Prado Museum. We suffered from information overload with all the old Masters etc. Nevertheless both of us were overwhelmed by a sculpture by Camillo Torregaiani called Queen’s Face Veiled. In it there is a veil over the face which is so realistic that we felt that we could see through it. We plan to go back and see it again tomorrow. Today we went to Ritiro Park and the Reina Sofia Museum. It houses the Picasso called Guernika. Madrid is a big bustling city with current daytime highs in the middle 30s- much different from the temperatures that we experienced on the Caminos.
