First city is done done we have survived our stay in Madrid. After a long flight waiting for our backpacks and finding our way to the hostel, which we extremely recommend (Ok Hostel). This place is more than just OK its fantastic the atmosphere, the staff, the location a few blocks away from Plaza Mayor. First day in the city we did the walking tour the hostel provided which gave us an over view of where everything was located. But the best part of it was a Churro place that the guide recommended Chocolateria San Gines.

What can we say it was amazing the chocolate was perfectly tempered not overly sweet and covered this crunchy crispy churro so perfect unlike anything we had ever tasted. After taking this little break we continued walking and exploring the city and besides all the gorgeous architecture and monuments of the city we began to notice these Museos de Jamon (Ham Museums). This place is a meat lovers heaven!!!! Jamon Serrano, Jamon Iberico, Chorizo hanging from the ceiling, what a beauty. Abby and I could not just go in without buying anything, so we ended up buying some Jamon Iberico. Just by looking at how the man carved the Jamon we new it was going to delicious.
Stick around more about Madrid will be shared. Below we have shared links to places we recommend as well as our Instagram with day to day pictures of our adventures.
