DeeTO Posted November 10, 2023 #105 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Great pics of your day trip to Avila and Segovia? What tour company did you use and was it 9hrs. Did it seem too long? It’s something I have also looked at from Madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LACruiser88 Posted November 10, 2023 Author #113 Share Posted November 10, 2023 (edited) The "La Mallorquina" bakery is a must stop when in Madrid. It is ALWAYS crowded, but definitely worth it. It has been open since 1894! It is in Plaza del Sol. They have been working on erecting this Christmas tree all week in Plaza del Sol. I don't think we will see it finished before we leave Sunday morning. Edited November 10, 2023 by LACruiser88 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First and last bullfight we have gone too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LACruiser88 Posted November 11, 2023 Author #123 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I'm glad we are leaving Madrid for the airport at 0830 tomorrow. There is a major demonstration scheduled from noon to 3 pm that will have the downtown in gridlock. Also, for Barcelona tomorrow there is a women's marathon that will have many street closures. Hope no one, including us, get affected by it. 🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaddyFaddy Posted November 12, 2023 #125 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Excited to read your comments as I’m sailing solo on this same 26 day journey. Good to know that you are personally acquainted with the food and beverage director as well. I’m so looking forward to this adventure!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
