Relative to other major museums, the Prado is an uncomfortable, confused mess but maybe that is a part of it’s charm (along with the pretty security guards). I normally wade through the Rubens straight for Goya’s chilling black paintings and then the master of Spanish painting, Velasquez. El Bosco and van der Weyden’s ‘Deposition’ also shouldn’t be missed but in my view the overrated El Greco can be skipped.

Ignore the ground floor, unless you are religious. Go see the Goyas. Have a coffee – it’s excellent……………….Then go to the Thyssen.

I enjoy the prado from one of the bars at the bottom end of Huertas…
