Yes, back to Spain, this time to Madrid (I previously visited Barcelona). I've been interested in visiting Madrid for quite some time and now, thanks to a lovely discount code I received from American Airlines, I am going. My friend Alice, who previously went to Poland with me over a birthday, is going with me and - excitingly - staying a couple days on her own afterwards!
So due to work having been crazy the past few weeks I am just now focusing on the trip.... and we leave in 3 days. Alice and I had lunch a couple of weeks ago to work out our must-sees and must-dos, but there are things like packing etc to think about. I'm glad to see the weather forecast has improved over the last week!
On the agenda: the Prado, Reina Sofia, a tapas tour, a flea market, and a day trip to Toledo. One thing I am really looking forward to is possibly connecting with a fellow beer geek I met in Essen, Belgium - I'd love to learn about Spanish beers. That said, I am truly looking forward to bringing home a haul of Spanish wines.
Alice and I move at different paces so I anticipate having time to blog more thoroughly than on recent trips... so watch this space!
