Today after we ate breakfast we went to Museo del Prado, an art museum that houses about 80% religious related paintings and sculptures. We had a guided tour of this museum as well, which was nice but I would have rather gone at my own pace and read the information from the walls. They had many rooms from El Greco and Goya, two famous painters, which created a variety of beautiful pieces. I loved how all the paintings were in immaculate condition and was surprised at vivid colors and realism. I even tried to snap a few pictures but I guess that wasn’t allowed and got in trouble. Whoops. Apparently, the museum was originally intended to be an academic school and center for history but instead is an art museum. Instead of going back inside to explore more I decided to catch some rays outside for about 15 mins until we had to be on the bus again. We grabbed an early lunch where they served cow intestines…GROSS! But they had other stuff too like tortellini, potato salad. The entire weekend I basically ate the same exact food because that’s all they served. Now were on the bus heading back home to Bilbao! This is what I was greeted with when I came back. I love it!
