I HEART Madrid…

Got back on Tuesday from one of my best excursions ever: Madrid. I had a business meeting on Monday afternoon so decided to fly in Saturday to give it a thorough look-see. I’m a bit embarrassed to admit now that I had low expectations. I’m a big fan of Barcelona and Catalonians in general don’t tend to speak too highly of the Spanish capital.Suffice it to say that I love Madrid almost as much as Barcelona, whose beaches give it only the slightest advantage. I found the old part of Madrid to be a wonderland of architecture, human warmth and amazing food and drink.I sense tons of posts emerging in the coming days.
