Spain and Portugal
It's been a warm start to our Spain/Portugal trip. Sunday, today and tomorrow are all in the high 90's or 100 range. Sunday was a half day at the Prado museum before spending a half day in Segovia. Ended the evening back in Madrid for a nice dinner. Today started with a half day walking the old town of Toledo and another stop in Avilia and now continuing on to Salamanca.
Best Sangria ever last night. Too bad Linda and I had less than 15 minutes to drink the entire pitcher before heading to dinner. |

If you get a chance to stroll 'old town' in Madrid, which is mostly just to the west of the Prado over to the Puerta del Sol, it is the heart of tapas bars (literally hundreds of them). Great food & drink at reasonable prices. Madrid is a wonderful city. We had one of our best times in Europe with a 15-day visit to Madrid and south to the Costa del Sol (Marbella). We are headed north of Madrid (San Sebastian, Bilbao, etc.) next time. The Alhambra is beautiful if you can get down to Granada.
