Spain Trip: Day 3

We arrived in Spain via Madrid at 7am, got to work right away practicing my survival Spanish by borrowing someone's phone and call our hotel shuttle. After we checked and settled in, we finally experienced the Spanish dia that we've all heard so much about: the Spaniards take a siesta in the afternoon, then snack on tapas and imbibe in light drinks in the early evening, then dinner around 10pm.  What a country!

We also experienced Spanish hospitality right off the bat. Everyone we asked for directions were so eager to help. At one point a gentleman ran after us to correct the directions to the place to get taxi that he gave us.

Final approach into Madrid.

Refreshed after a grueling 15-hour flight from LA, we're ready for southern Spain. Tomorrow, we head to our final destination - Caleta de Velez.
