Tapas!

6 Dec – 8 Dec, 2005

A small layover in Madrid. Two nights. Iosu, whom we met in Peru, was our host. When he said there would be space, we didn’t expect him to give us his room, while he went and slept elsewhere! We were a little astonished, expecting a bit of floor space, or something.

Tapas for dinner on the day we arrived. And the 7th – a day of tapas. Early lunch tapas. Early dinner tapas. Evening tapas with drinks with Iosu and his friends. Squid. Cheeses. Croquettes. Steak pieces. Mushrooms. And Jo’s favourite, Jamon Serrano (a cured ham). Platefulls, and soooo cheap! Eateries, just full of hanging hams. A ham lovers paradise. (And Jo is one, I can assure you!)

Tapas with Iosu

Did some sightseeing, but really, the weather was far too nice to spend time in museums, or the like. Just a full day wandering the streets and squares.
