Friday mandated a trip to Madrid for an interview for summer work for Matt and I (more on that later), so we decided to make a day out of it.
Thanks to the hospitality of Denis (a friend's boyfriend who just moved to Madrid), we didn't have to pay for a hostel, which was wonderful. There was also an influx of Bilbao auxiliares who happened to be in Madrid that weekend, we got to meet up with them. It also rained while we were there, so it was almost like being in Bilbao.
While it wasn't a crazy 8 in the morning night that you would expect from Madrid nightlife, it was definitely a good time, and it was great to have people who lived there to show us around.
On Saturday Matt and I saw all of Madrid (save for the insides of the museums) in about 3 hours, which I thought was pretty good. Then we got back on the bus and headed back to Euskadi.
