Madrid - Spain - Around the Palace & Cathedral

When you need an injection of city life there is no place better than Madrid Spain.  Madrid really does have it all and it all, is going on, like donkey kong.  I was worried that I wasn't going to like Madrid.  I like to be by the water and hadn't really looked into what the city was like.  I can honestly say that Madrid is one of my favourite cities Ive visited.  If you want busy, crazy, fun, culture, meat, fashion, shopping, international, friendly, food, walkable, clean (in the day time), safe ... This is the place to come.  Its got just the right amount of naughty and nice and everything spice.  The pictures below are around the Palace, Cathedral and grounds.  There will be more photos of Madrid in a second post.
