En Madrid

Please mind the gap between Blogger and Wordpress... I have moved my blog over to Wordpress largely because you can browse my archive posts there, where you will also find future posts. The new address is: http://madrid.wordpress.com/ Please update your bookmarks.

Spent some time on the terrace of the pub in Villaviciosa the other day, the sign could do with some maintenance...

The windmills in Toledo are reconstructions, but for authenticity you can walk the same path as Don Quixote. I can also recommend the Nestle Cheesecake ice cream avalible from the in-windmill shop (Image from nestle.es)

Toledo has lots of flat streets which makes it ideal amongst other things for riding a Segway, there was a Segway Hire Shop and I had to have a go, I was scared I would fall off as it works only by weighting your body around to go back or forward, but as it was it was great fun.
