What I am dreaming about....

I am so excited, about-to-pee-in-my-pants-excited, about my upcoming vacay. My beau and I are going to Madrid, Spain in May. I told you he was wonderful, right? Until then, I will spend my days daydreaming about the food, culture, clothes, people, sights, music, art.....



In my research, I have found this must-do list:


  • Get lost in the Museo del Prado.
  • Go shopping in Calle Fuencarral (trendy) or Salamanca district (posh)... it's up to you!
  • Eat a bocadillo de calamares (squid sandwich) near Plaza Mayor.
  • Struggle among the crowds in El Rastro on a sunny Sunday morning.
  • Go to a theater on Gran Via and enjoy a musical show.
  • Go for some tapas in La Latina (don't forget patatas bravas).
  • Spend an afternoon in El Retiro.
  • Get back to 16th century in Plaza de la Paja and surroundings.
  • See a sunset at the Templo de Debod.
  • Have a drink and dance in MalasaƱa district until dawn, then have a chocolate con churros breakfast.
Sounds amazing, right?
