After spending a few hours watching Flamenco at al Corral de La Moreria, our hosts decided to take us for a little walk around old Madrid. Having spent the majority of our week at the office, we hadn't had an opportunity to see some of the historical parts of the city, so we walked past el Palacio Real, located atop a massive hill and right next door to the venue... Once a strategically placed Moorish fortress, the Palace guards the western approach to Madrid, and it's quite a view.
We also walked past el Teatro Real, the royal opera house, and then decided on one more drink and ventured in el barrio de La Latina, a hip, happening neighborhood a short walk away... Found ourselves on one of the famed terrazas, a terrace bar called El Viajero (The traveler), and tossed back a few more drinks while taking in the scenery... 
Had the pleasure of catching up with my long lost friend Sarah Okrent, of LB/Madrid, who was a partner in crime at these GPCs for years before disappearing for a bit to bring this adorable bundle of joy into the world...

It's a beautiful thing watching your friends become parents... Shared a few more drinks with the gang, then headed back to the hotel. Here's one for the ages. Stephan Ferens, Sarah Okrent, Rosalie and me al Viajero...
