I don’t know why but somethings are just better when they’re shared, and art it’s just one of those things. The Thyssen Bornemisza Museum was the one I didn’t visit until yesterday. I already knew it was not going to be a disappointment like Prado, because of some of the names that makes that huge collection: Monet, Manet, Van Gogh, Pissarro, Matisse, Kandinsky, Degas, Renoir, Mondrian, Dali, Picasso, and much more. But it was better than I ever thought it would be, not only for the paintings but also for the company. 

Back to the museum, this family, or better, the Thyssen Lady has so much power that she said to the mayor of Madrid if he wouldn’t improve the street outside the museum she would take all the collection some place else. And the thing is, the projects are moving to getting the place improved.

After the museum, there’s nothing like a good lunch of portuguese cousine, and I found a very good portuguese restaurant in the center of Madrid, “A Tasca do Bacalhau Português”, of course the specialty is Cod fish and it’s great, they have like 10 different recipes (which is not much considering), they even have “Pastéis de Belém”, the real ones, directly from Lisbon. The one thing is not portuguese and entirely from Madrid, it’s the price, lunch for two people 72€. But it’s very good and I want to go back more often. 

Wraping everything up, it was a very good day that went by like a few minutes!
