Life in Madrid


I'm slowly but surely getting use to life in Madrid: the food, transportation, the streets, the smells and the way of life. Food is a very big part in my life & glad to be in Spain. Jamon Serrano is my favorite, tortilla de patata and tapas oh, I can't forget the wine! I can't get enough of churros y chocolate :). There is a dish called Cocido which has to be eaten in parts if you want, first part is the soup & the second is a combination of meats, sausages, veggies and garbanzo beans: so good!

My first soccer game was Real Madrid v's Alcorcon, Madrid won by 1-0 & they played really bad according to the people in the stadium who left & next days newspaper!
Traveling to Avila, El Escorial, Cuenca, Alcala, Aranjuez, Sevilla & Manzanares El Real have made me look at Spain differently, the views amaze and never disappoint me. Granada, Salamca and the north of Spain are next!
