Madrid, Spain

Highlights:

  • Nice to have a weekend in Madrid just to sightsee.
  • Besides visiting all the popular tourist sites I ate a some good Spanish restaurants and tasted their cuisine.  One place near the Royal Palace was the La Mi Venta which featured the best Iberian ham in Madrid.  Besides the ham they had a good selection of Tapas and Pinchos, which was skewered meat, from Northern Spain Basque region.
