Have fun for me MM. I had a good time last year at your gathering. I remember going with barry and some others to torero. I wish I could be there but I am no longer in spain. Oh well Maybe next year.

I'm jealous!!!!!

I have been to Cervecería de San Andrés a few times - discovered it by accident as I tend to wander/discover at will. It's a super location - and within comfortable walking distance of Sol if the weather is decent. However, cab it home at the end of the evening ....

Enjoy!!!!!!! MM - you really need to insert the "green face of jealousy" icon for those of us not there .....

Hey MM!! Sure wish I was there! Neat to hear you are already in Madrid! Sound SOO great!

PLEASE stop in and say hi to Joaquin for me at the Asquinina Bar Gallego. He is such a nice man. I am sure you will agree and he will get a big kick out of you stopping by to say hi from Pedro in California!

Have fun!

Aargh! Can't believe we'll miss this. We won't be arriving in Spain until about 2 weeks later and won't be in madrid until about 2 weeks after that. We were in Madrid in October and walked down around the Latina area - looked very cool. Enjoy the party everyone!

Thanks for going two weeks after I got back! That's okay...I had a bootleg MM party with one other person...

After 7 years of taking an April trip, this will be the first to coincide with the party with MadridMan date. (Good Lord willing and the dam
don't bust. I arrive 7 hours before the start of the party!)

Calibasco, how much La Casera did you bring home with you? I had 6-1/2 liters in February, of which 4 remain!

OK, MadridMan et al. We are in Madrid, comfortably ensconced at Hostal Adriano. My first impression is VERY POSITIVE.

I didn't remember how many things are closed during Semana Santa. Even El Corte Inglés is closed. Luckily all the bars and restaurants are open. We arrived at 0815, dropped our bags at Hostal Adriano, and marched right on over to La Mallorquina...straight up the stairs for the sit-down service, where I got the cafe con leche and napolitana de crema I had been dreaming about. As MadridMan would say.."Yum,Yum". See you all at the fiesta.....

Enjoy everybody! Wish I could be there again, last year was great. Too bad Im back living in the US now

I´m looking forward to next Friday! Everyone PRAY/HOPE/WISH for NO RAIN! The big terraza there looks nice and inviting.

Saludos, MadridMan
(Today we´re off to Olivera for the night but visiting the Roman ruins in Mérida)

Have Fun everyone!
I unfortunately cannot get over there, so am a little jealous. However I have explored this area a little in the past and can agree it is a superb place for a get-together.... Hope you get some great aperitivos....
