While the Spanish partners had lessons in the morning, our Cotham visitors had their first contact with the city of Madrid, beginning with a typical breakfast of chocolate con churros at the most traditional place in the city San Ginés








Once full of energy, they went south to Matadero in order to do a bike ride along Madrid Río, which allowed them to see the city from a different perspective and was surely good exercise an lots of fun














A nice stop to rest and see Goya's paintings at San Antonio de la Florida





Lunch at the park






And back to Tres Cantos to spend the rest of the day with their partners


Friday 23

A sunny cold morning and we were off to El Valle de los Caídos and El Escorial, to have a brief taste of Spanish recent and XVIc history
