Las Musas Residence was the Hostel we stayed at near Plaza Mayor in Madrid. Madrid was surprisingly safer than we had anticipated. The nights were refreshingly warm and the streets became populated with the community hustle bustle just after sunset (10pm). Most restaurants were open until Midnight or later and the courtyard became filled with grandmas, grandpas, teens and parents as if it were five in the afternoon. Tourists stick out like a sore thumb because they are the only one stupid enough to walk around site seeing in the blazing hot noon sun. The locals are the smart ones enjoying the city in the coolest part of the day.

View from the Hostel Dinning area. Tina, Christine and I stayed there 3 days and 3 nights. On the second day we ran into Annie, another girl in our program that coincidentally happened to travel to Madrid and book the exact same hostel as us!

These buildings are incredibly beautiful. You must feel like you are in building heaven! Glad you are having a good time. Thank you for taking the time to set up this blog. I have you in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Aunt Chris

ReplyDeleteHi Jenni! Great pictures! You are going to love Spain as much as I do. I visited the Southern part of Spain (Andalucia) some years ago and loved the food, the people, and the landscape. It really is an amazing country. Anyway, God bless you on your adventures:)
