Looking for a fun night out in Madrid? Look no further than an evening tapas tour. One of our favorite memories from Madrid was all the incredible food. Plus, you’re on vacation so the diet can wait until you get back home. Or at least that’s what we told ourselves! A…
Madrid is a feast of the senses. After spending the past few days in laid-back Portugal, Kevin and I were ready to hit the ground running in Madrid. Luckily we got our rest in Portugal since the real fun of eating in Spain typically begins around 8:30 PM, when many tapas…
For anyone who follows this blog, you’ll know that if there is one thing that Kevin and I love more than just about anything — it’s a good bike tour. Now combine biking with delicious food, wine and an enthusiastic tour guide… Well, you just sold us! A beautiful morning…
