Huge apologies for my absence! I've been doing loads of travelling this autumn and it's been hard to keep up!
I'm finally blogging about my trip to Madrid in September...
It was fab! It started off with a a sangria looking onto the Royal Palace in Madrid...and then from there it was amazing!
The first day we had a special tour of the Escorial Palace & Monastery, which was fantastic!
We got special access to the cloister that is usually closed--it was stunning! The water reflecting on the marble on the central pavilion was simply amazing...
Of course I gave my paper at the conference, & attended sessions, as well as museum visits... but in the evenings it was tapas at Mercado San Miguel and simply taking in all the delights of the streets....
