For our Sunday we had a lot planned. Firstly we were going to watch the Bull Run at 11am in Alpedrete then head into Madrid where we would a) Go to the El Rastro Market b) Go boat riding in Retirio Park c) Eat Sunday Dinner in an Irish pub and lastly D) Go to the little market on the other side of Retirio park before going home.
Sadly not all of it went to plan. We arrived at the bull racing barriers for eleven and stayed there until 11:53 but still nothing had happened, people had begun to leave so we left to as we had to make the El Rastro market before it closed. We were quite disappointed we didn't get to see the bulls but we had such a busy day planned that we just couldn't afford to wait to see if they'd show up.
We got the 681 into Moncloa then the Metro to Callao where we switched over to line 5 and got off at Latina to go to El Rastro Market. El Rastro market was amazing, we barely got the whole area covered before it closed. Both of us bought so many presents for our families and some momento's for ourselves.
After this seeing as it was after 4 by the time we made it to Retirio Park we decided to have our Sunday Dinners as we were both quite hungry at this point
Having mashed potatoes was genuinely a religious experience for us both, we had been craving them for over a week at this point. We also got a desert of Sticky Toffee Pudding to share before heading over to do the boat ride the park which was gorgeous, we spent €8 for 45mins and honestly it was one of the coolest things we've done we had so much fun learning to row and taking pictures (as seen below) shortly after this we headed home as it was after 8 and it would take a long enough time to get back to Alpedrete as it was.
