Camino Aftermath Day 5

Today was our last full day in Espana.  While we are eagerly looking forward to going home, we are leaving a bit of our hearts in Spain. Today we spent more time in Retiro Park and then went to the Botanical Gardens when they opened at 10 am.  The gardens were as advertised and resulted in information  overload after an hour and a half.  With our accommodation so conveniently located, we were able go back for a quick rest whenever we wanted and did so after the Gardens. Later we did some shopping for souvenirs, visited the royal palace and ate.  My choice was as Spanish as possible, paella with sangria. This evening we went back to the Prado to see more paintings and sculptures;  in particular we went to see Camillo Torregiani's veiled Isabel II again.
