Taravb, you need a Spain Fix, gal!

MM, did you get to keep the Casa Botín wine carafe? When we visited, I asked the waiter if I could buy the carafe and he said, keep it, and now it sits proudly on my table with daisies, a daily reminder of a very nice retaurant. I did leave the waiter a big tip!

MM, I feel that this trip you've taken us through a culinary tour of Madrid! The sumptious descriptions of the food and drinks is wonderful, and will give your readers ideas of what to try when they reach Madrid, instead of eating at, dare I say it, VIPS !

Gracias!
