Today in Madrid we went to the National Naval Museum. We got off thel Metro at the Atocha stop. It was the same as when we went to the Prado
But we became disoriented and did some people watching. The museum is operated by the Spanish navy so you must show your passport to get in. The displays depict their navy from whenever until modern times. The 15th and 16th centuries were most interesting to me. There are hundreds of model ships, many paintings, artifacts and weapons. The transition from sail to steam is fascinating. It is interesting to note that the Spanish credit the weather for their defeat at Trafalgar more than the English.
We took the metro back to Puerta del Sol and bought a bag lunch from the Museum of Jamon. We relax til time of the bullfight.
