This place is beautiful and the staff were lovely.

Our room had window that opened up to a view of the back courtyard with all its vintage, classic cars. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was plush with lovely bathrobes, towels and nice…More »

This restored 300-year-old flour mill is so beautiful. Set right on the water (duh say the flour mill geeks), all the rooms have a balcony, with views of the River Duero.

We had a delicious dinner in their restaurant that focuses on fresh local…More »

We were taken here by the winemaker for Compañia de Vinos Telmo Rodríguez so perhaps we were spoiled but oh lordy the food was good!

One of my favourite items were the anchovies that were flattened, lightly breaded and possibly pan-fried. Their…More »

I had been into one of their stores in Pamplona but was looking for "made in Spain' items so I'd resisted temptation. By the time I got to Madrid Amex had sent me a new credit card (lost my wallet in Barcelona) and I had found Spanish gifts for my…More »

We were staying at the hotel next door and didn't feel like paying 16 euros for breakfast there. This little place next door was perfect!

For 5 euros I got a delicious coffee, freshly squeezed (while we sat there) OJ and a scrambled egg/sausage mix on…More »

We were trying to decide where to eat so I pulled up the trusty yelp App and found Suzanne's review for this place. It was just down the street from our hotel so we decided to give it a whirl.

When we arrived the place was packed - a good sign - but…More »

This is a beautiful little hotel in the quiet town of Gratallops.

We arrived late and they kept the kitchen open for us. The food was really good! We realised quickly that we'd ordered too much and it was getting late so we asked them to stop…More »

Although I didn't actually buy any candy (silly of me really) this store made me feel like a kid in a candy store. Actually I felt like an adult in a candy store that was filled with magic candies that would make me happy. OK that's just weird but so…More »

I found this place through expedia. It's located right in the thick of Madrid so very convenient. There's public parking nearby if you have a car.

I'd asked for twin beds and we got a queen size. I actually never slept in the bed as we partied until…More »

When the tall, gorgeous blonde in the short, tight skirt started talking in Spanish to one of my colleagues he froze. When she told us to follow her, the other guy said 'anywhere'. I'm surprised we ever left this place.

It's a large room with three…More »

We were walking by trying to decide where to go and were lured in by a guy promising a free shooter (yep, we're weak).

This place has the strangest decor I've ever seen. A throwback to the British Empire in India with a life-size figure of US…More »
