Madrid is really different from Oviedo, obviously they are totally different places, but its a lot busier and stressful. It was really nice to come back home to Oviedo yesterday and have a lovely chilled out Sunday, sitting drinking cider (not through a straw Guides) and eating another massive Menu del Dia!
So after arriving on Thursday and getting our first free meal - hint to vegetarians, don't apply to be language assistants in Spain! - we had thought about sitting in and drinking 56 cent wine from cartons, but instead we decided to brave Madrid's nightlife! I'm glad we did. After a very lovely cocktail in a bar we found a little pub in a side street. The owner, after discovering he had two Scots in his pub, offered us Beefeater Gin with a special tonic.
Oh was I glad that he did! He poured the tonic in with a special spoon and it made it all flat. It was literally the best G+T I have ever had!!
On the Friday, which was out intended night out, we went a little more traditional. Moondance Club near the Plaza del Sol - free entry and a free shot. Epic.
And the characters we saw! Apparently boys in Madrid like to wear really tight white trousers - who knew?
The bottles of Don Simon Sangria and the 56 cent white wine that we chugged on the metro really added to the class of the whole evening!
We also managed to get some masks from somewhere.... there were no questions asked.
So, I'm off to school tomorrow for the first time! Wish me luck!!
