Typical street signs in Madrid. All the street signs are on the corners of buildings! The first few days I could never find where the street signs were! The sign on the left is for Calle Mayor. The street (calle) where the Plaza Mayor is.
Beautiful buildings on Calle Mayor.
A little street off of Calle Mayor called San Gines (hee-nays). The famous Chocolateria San Gines is at the bottom.
I sat outside Chocolateria San Gines and this was my view. Pretty doors.
Mmmm, chocolate to drink, some fried goodness, and the typical small beer.
Chocolateria San Gines
Calle del Arenal. The shade was lovely! Follow this street to get to Palacio Real.
Plaza de la Puerta del Sol (Plaza of the door to the sun, right?). The Tio Pepe sign was a good landmark for us.
