Later, I went back to the station through the park. In this park, there were streets simply surrounded by trees and the Prince Cottage in the middle. If you keep walking straight, you will arrive at the station.
Near my stay, I found some very nice restaurants. Of course, I went to the Spanish restaurant and ordered the very typical Spanish meal, Paella and Sangria. Paella with various fishes and shellfish was just like a happiness. I don't know if it's for one person, but I finished it all. Actually, I usually can't drink much but this one was really good with many kinds of fruits. I think it was my first time to finish a grass of alcohol (except very thin one you get in izakaya).
My last day in Madrid become such a wonderful and delicious day.
修道院を離れ、ランチも兼ねて周辺をぶらぶら散歩して見ることに。観光客はそこそこいるものの、車や工事音などの都会的なガヤガヤほとんどなく、街は落ち着きと静けさに包まれた素敵な場所だった。昼食をいただいて街の景観を楽しんだ。
街でだいぶゆっくりした後、公園を突っ切って駅まで行くことに。大きな木々に左右を囲まれただけのシンプルな歩道が続いていて、真ん中まで行くと王子の小別荘が見えてくる。それを右手にまっすぐ進んで行くと駅に到着だ。
安堵感からか疲れからか、気が抜けて電車の中でうたた寝をし、後半は腹痛にさいなまれながらもなんとか宿へカムバック。少しゆっくりしてから荷造りを進める。いよいよスペインともお別れなんだな…。
私の旅最後の1日は、とても美しく美味い1日となった。
