The first hotel that we are staying at is the Gran Via Hotel, which was converted a long time ago from a noble palace to a hotel. If my spanish is right, then the hotel translates into english as "Great Life." I wonder why they would call a hotel that :) Anyways, the interior of the hotel is like a museum filled with tons of antiques from spain's past. This includes my favorite think of all. Its a really cool pull out writers dresser thing, that when you push a part of the wood down, a wood pane attached to a hinge flaps down, and you can pull out the desk. Its really cool, because the desk is covered with the old style leather that they use to write on! I think we had one back at home, but I never really thought about it until now! Anyways, again, the architecture in the hotel was really old, with really cool stained glass skylights and a marble staircase that would take the breath out of anyone that dared to challenge it!
