Madrid, Salamanca, Vigo
The last few days in Madrid were spent at the Riena Sofia and the Thyssen-Bornemisza galleries. The Reina Sofia is home to Picasso’s Guernica, which was powerful and dominated the room it was hung in. There were plenty of other works which I enjoyed but specifically Dali’s The Endless Enigma was a highlight. The Thyssen-Bornemisza was the third amazing museum in Madrid, and had prices by Monet, Van Gogh, Dali, El Greco, Rembrandt, Renoir, and O’Keeffe. The temporary exhibit was interesting, showing paintings by Joaquín Sorolla alongside many of the garments featured in the painting.
On to Salamanca, we spent a couple days enjoying the sights and foods the university city had to offer. A climb up to the top of Catedral de Salamanca gave impressive views of the city. There was also an Art Nouveau & Art Deco Museum inside a beautiful mansion called Casa Lis.
The last couple days in Spain (before we head down into Portugal) were spent in Galacian region, in a city called Vigo. We mostly just enjoyed the time wondering around and trying out cafes, restaurants and bars.
