So I've made it a goal to do at least one thing from my list of cultural/landmark/historical sites in Madrid. This weekend I went to el Museo Arqueológico Nacional, an archeology museum of Spain, and Café Gijón, a famous 'literati' café from pre-Civil War Spain.
The museum was cool, especially because I'd read about/seen pictures of a lot of the pieces in the Spanish culture/history class I took last quarter. The museum spanned the history of the Iberian peninsula (Spain and Portugal) from the Egyptians to the Greeks to the Romans to the Visigoths to the Muslims to modern time. Those are a few cool photos from the exhibit.
The café was cool, pricey but neat history/ambiance.
And tomorrow I'm gonna hit up the flea market, and the Prado museum. Excellent.
