After all the walking and sightseeing, we arrived at El Corte Ingles, biggest department store group in Europe and ranks fourth worldwide.
We were give VIP cards allowing us 10% discount and free tapas at one of their restaurant.
We mostly shopped at the supermarket, getting snacks and souvenirs.
We bought some chocolates and cookies. They did not melt as our coach is air conditioned and at night the coach is parked near the hotel and being winter soon, the night is very cold so we just left our chocolate and cookies in an extra bag in the coach so we dont have to carry up and down to our hotels as we do not stay in same hotel all the time.
Seems like preserved ham are favourite during the winter.
I bought some dried figs for my chinese soup to cook at home.
After all the shopping, we rested our feet at the restaurant where we had our free tapas with our vouchers
The voucher entitled us to a free drink (soft drink or coffee or tea) and tapas(small snacks)
Our free tapas (small snack) for four of us.
My brother in law being a huge fan of football, use this opportunity to walk to the nearby madrid stadium (about 15 mins walk) and bought a lot of Madrid jerseys and caps, etc
