| Drinking sangria (Plaza san Andres) |
I haven't mentioned yet but we love travelling with Mr. M and fly a lot around the world (I think I will open a separate page on the blog for our travels, fortunately we have a lot to tell). 2 weeks ago M. wa on business trip in Madrid and we decided that I also book a flight and we spend the weekend together.
It was a great decision, we are over a wonderful weekend. We didn't have time for everything but enjoyed every single minute of the weekend, the walk on the small narrow streets of Madrid, the rest, that, we don't rush anywhere, we eat, where we get just hungry or sit down for a sangria at one of the cute small plaza of Madrid.
We didn't take picture about everything but there you are, some foretaste:

| Patatas brava |

| Tortilla espanola |
On Saturday evening we had dinner in Don Ulpiano Restaurant (Plaza de San Martin, 2 - 28013 Madrid, Tel: +34 91 523 95 73). We ordered a paella mix for two, what a bottle of wine belonged to as well. Besides this we tasted mushroom with almond sauce too. Everything tasted perfectly. I say this who doesn't like seafood....so this is big word from me :)
After our dinner on Saturday night Mr. M. made a reservation for us in the
Corral de la Moreira (Mr. M. surprised me with it:). This is the most famous tablao flamenco place on Earth, was opened in 1956. Here you can see live the world's most talented dancers, singers and guitarists. The place itself has also a special atmosphere. It can be found in the centre of Madrid, 5 minutes walk from the royal palace. The decoration from the 18-19. century, the Arabic corbels and street lamps remind of the feel of original flamenco, which took us also back to the past for a while. The show was very fascinating, the almost 2-hours long show seemed 5 minutes for me.
Many world famous people visited this place which is known as "cathedral of flamenco art" during the decades (on their website you can see the whole impsong list), which is testified by the many pictures which hangs on the wall in the lobby of the place.
We turned into a supermarket as well.
