I glad you liked my city!
Madrid looks very nice. I would love to visit sometime:) I like the sound of Museo del Jamon
Just checking out your Madrid tips (especially the restaurants) since you seem to pay attention to where & what you eat (& drink) as much as we do. Thanks!
It looked like you were having fun in Madrid! Great photos of the city with it's impressive old buildings set among the green trees and with blue skies! Mmm, beer and tapas sounds good to me!
Ahh, yes ...now I remember ...I already commented this page on October 11th .... ..but I agree with zumodemango: Two nights are definitely not enough to get a real idea of this fabulous city ...
2 nights are not enought, you have to come back soon!
Now I have my flights booked I knew that Id come and have another look at your Spanish pages Sue! Great accomm Tip...brill pics! Thanks....Ali x
Another one bringing back nice memories .The Jamon was great .Nice one Sue !!!
Good to know that there is more than one "House of Jamon" in Madrid.
So it was a little eating then a little sightseeing & so on then Sue? I do envy you guys being able to do all this travelling while based in London. But you've got to do it while the opportunity is there.
