Madrid walking marathon

Today, a native MadrileƱo named Christina posted in the CS group that she can show any tourists around the city, so of course I signed up. Another couple of people, both originally Filipino, came along as well. Some little tidbits Christina told us were really interesting, as we walked through the old post office and the huge Retiro park, but man it was a looong walk. I was kind of glad it's the last touristy day of my trip because my legs so needed the rest by this point.
I had one last night of tapas at El Tigre, a bar that gives you a ton of food when you buy a beer, followed by some more dancing. (El Tigre had creepy animal heads mounted way too low on the wall so it was possible to kiss them if you wished - pictured below!!!)
Anyway, I'm definitely coming back to Madrid. I feel like I can really breathe in that city.
