Date night in Madrid

We celebrated our Wedding Anniversary the other day (23 years!!) by going out for a lovely meal in Madrid city.

On a visit to the Carmen Thyssen Museum a few days previously we had wandered past Primo Mexican Restaurant with both of us thinking that it looked like a nice place to eat. So we made a reservation for 7.30pm - we really didn't need to make a reservation as (1) it's August - Madrid is empty and (2) no one eats this early in Madrid! Lol

We got the metro to Sol and the restaurant is just a short walk from here

We ordered Duck Tacos to share for what we thought would be a starter - but all the food came out together. This was fine, as in fairness, the food was perfectly timed and did not come out too quickly.

I had skirt steak for my main and Ciaran had a burrito.

The duck tacos were devine and I would order them again. The skirt steak came with a mole that had a really intense flavour to it, so delicious.

The burrito was huge!! This photo does not show how packed full of cheese, rice and meat it was. 

All of the food was so tasty and really filling - so filling that we certainly didn't have room for dessert!

After dinner we wandered around the city in order to walk our dinner off. The temperature was perfect as it cooled off after the high temp of the day.

Above is a pic of the cocktail bar in Galeria Canelajas which is a high end luxury mall (pic of the building is below) that is attached to the Four Seasons Hotel in Madrid. We went down to the foodhall as we considered getting a dessert if there was a nice cheesecake on offer. However as we were very full after dinner we forgo it, anyway there was only a gelato and crepe dessert offering so this wasn't something that really interested us.

Look at that beautiful blue sky!

After a lovely time in the city, we headed home to relax for the evening. I think it was about 10pm when we got home which is late for us! 

All in all an absolutely great celebration.......
