Madrid Day 1- My Birthday!!

We are staying in plaza cruz at a cute hostel Cruz-Sol with a little balcony. This is our view.
After we found our hotel, we walked around the corner to Plaza Mayor and sat at outdoor tables to admire the view and eat paella. Jon had the accordian player played happy birthday! We also found out about verano en la villa which is a summer concert series. So, we got tickets for an incredible show with singing and flemeco dancing. It was outside in the Sabatini gardens under a full moon. The flamenco dancing was captivating. The dancers (2 men, one woman) and their band (2 singers, guitar, violin and percussion of simple tapping on a wooden box) were incredibly talented. That´s us at the top all dolled up for the night of entertainment. Note the cute french dress.
