Museo del Prado



The Museo del Prado is probably the most spectacular art museum I have ever seen. It is located in a spectacular park area with numerous fountains and statues, complete with the required number of obras. The one I thought most fanciful, fountain, not obra, was the Plaza de Neptuno, also the site of celebration for athletic fans when their team has won. Since they played their last world cup game the night I was there, I'm sure that it was the scene of many tears, not revelry. The Museo itself is filled with absolutely stunning artwork El Greco to Goya and many others. It was delightful!
