Hi Madrid Man!
We're getting excited about the trip at the end of September. After our time in Madrid, we will go to Barcelona for a couple of days.

We decided that we will splurge while in Barcelona for one night and stay at a Paradore. The two Paradores that we found near Barcelona are the "Parador De Vic-Sau" about 75 Km from Barcelona, and the "Parador De Cardona" about 85 Km from Barcelona.

I was wondering if any of your readers is familiar with either of these places. I haven't made reservations yet, but will need to soon.

Thanks for your help,
Deb
