Madrid is BEAUTIFUL - 11/27/00 02:57 PM
Hola 
I'm back from my short trip to Spain
I had fun and I ate very well. Madrid is as beautiful as always but I have the feeling that many things have changed. First, there is more diversity in Madrid, I found many people from Latin America and from Africa. Not many Spaniards are happy about this, but they will get used with time The food is excellent! I ate too much 
but instead of going to nice restaurants I ate at home where the food is the best of the best. I bought a LOT of good stuff, nice clothes, shoes, home decorations... I bought a CD of Vicente Amigo, I don't know if you had the opportunity of listen to his music yet, but I recommend hes CD.
The only thing that I didn't like is the flight
it was the first time that I used Iberia and I didn't like it. The seats are too small and it took 11 hours from Barcelona to JFK (NY) They don't give any kind of information about the weather or the rime left to arrive... but it might be that I had bad luck.
I brought some "Ponche Caballero" (alcohol)
and a big lomo that is getting smaller as days go by.
What else? Oh, the weather, it wasn't cold but it wasn't hot.
Another thing that I didn't like was the trafic, it was CRAZY!
Okay, that's my update.
Hey Madridman, thanks for the smilies, they are so fun!
