Dia numero dos en Madrid
Today is just as hot, but I like the idea of taking a nap when the hottest part of the day hits...mornings are lovely and cool. The Prado was amazing yesterday, and I was suprised at seeing the amazing paintings of Bosch (El Bosco en Espana) including the Garden of Delights--insane! I learned a lot about Goya, Velazquez, and El Greco, too, of course.
Today was the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, which houses Picasso´s Guernica. It was much bigger than I expected, and the sketches that Picasso did to prepare for the painting were really illuminating. What an amazing work. Cool museum, too.
I´ve had enough art for at least a week, though. Feel a bit on overload.
Lunch at a vegetarian place in a great neighborhood, Malasaña. Also overloaded on jamon, both from España and Italia. Time now for siesta and then dinner...Barcelona mañana.
