So on Saturday the 5th we returned bright and early to one our new favourite spots - the pool in Lago. We felt after our busy week we could do with a few hours of relaxing. This pool visit was particularly ascetically pleasing due to the volume of gorgeous gay men obviously here for Gay Pride which was occurring this weekend in the centre of Madrid ! After our sunbathing... and staring... we ventured off back to our flat to get ready for the nights festivities.
Since Nikki's family had arrived in Madrid for their holiday, she ditched the rest of us and dined out luxuriously - while we wined and dined at KFC - not jealous at all.
So Gillian, Kumba and Danielle got their glad-rags on and decided to see what Gay Pride was all about in Madrid. The second we stepped off the metro we were submerged into a mass of glitter and colour. None of us had experienced anything like this before. It's been estimated that 1.2 million people attended the Gay Pride weekend, it was definitely a sight to see !
So on Sunday we felt it was about time we fully explored the beautiful city of Madrid and hopped onto a tour bus. We choose to do the Historic bus route of Madrid to learn a bit more about the city which was also relaxing to get the chance to see everything from the comfort of a bus seat in lovely sun. We decided to do the full route to start of with to see all the sites, but after travelling through Gran Via (the main high street shopping district) being the fashion retail students that we are we knew what our first stop off would be.
After our semi-successful shopping trip we treated ourselves to a lovely lunch at Cafe & Tapas which we all thoroughly enjoyed.
Hasta Leugo
Danielle, Kumba, Nikki and Gillian
