Saludos Madridman! I've been to Spain 3 times in the last 10yrs, the 3rd with my son after graduating high school. It is great to see so many people with a love for Spain. I have alot of family in Madrid and between talking to them and now finding your site, it makes the pain of not being there easier to digest! I will start visiting this forum more often,it looks like a great group of people resides here and I can learn more of the place I miss most. I did notice some posts of "Tapas Man", I think I saw him the last time in madrid, he was at a 7-11 drinking a slurpee and the clerk was booting him out for urinating under the counter! Jamon y cervezas a todos!

Welcome to the "Spain Family" here, gekko60! The large majority of us are very passionate about all that is SPAIN and everytime we say the word or think of the place we have a warm feeling in our hearts. Enjoy yourself. I can see you've found a home here.

Saludos, MadridMan
