Tim Hortons Man,

I don't know if it is well known or not but check into Ucles. A small town about 1 hour or so by car from Madrid, to the East. There is a Monastary there and several nice small hotels/restaurants.

El Almirante de la Flota que Sundio

And a few kilometers further from Ucles, in the same road (A-3), you'll find the ruins of a Roman village called Segobriga. Both visits are a nice daytrip from Madrid (Segobriga is in kilometer 103). If you want a bit tougher day, you can add Chinchon to the list.

i thought madrid was the best until i went to IBIZA

San Sebastian i like very much and I am a Madrid lover.
