Royal Convent, Madrid

This was founded for nuns who were members of European royal families. It has a lot of major art works brought by the royal ladies. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see them, as it was closed on Friday afternoons.

So I went and had chocolate con churros instead. Not having been to Spain, I wasn't familiar with this particular delicacy - a cup of melted chocolate with long, thin doughnut-like things to dip in it. Just as well I left Madrid the next morning, or I wouldn't have been able to get into my tiny room after a few more!
