Mr. and Mrs. Ramirez: Logrono and Madrid, Spain

Logrono, Spain

We flew into Madrid Friday afternoon. We went to Madrid to see some good friends, Luis and Elena, who live there. We drove to Logrono, a city in the La Rioja region, to stay the night. We went Tapas bar hopping Friday night with Elena and Luis and their friends. All the food was absolutely amazing! Saturday we went out to their family winery and vineyard to tour the facility and enjoy the wine! Saturday evening we headed back to Madrid to spend the rest of the weekend.

Madrid, Spain

Sunday we spent the day walking around Madrid. We saw the Royal Palace, Puerta del Sol, and Plaza Mayor. We visited the Royal Botanical Gardens. This is filled with beautiful plants and flowers from all over the world. For lunch we met Luis and Elena and went to several Tapas bars including the famous Taberna Los Lucio. This restaurant is known for their fried eggs over french fries! That night we walked around Retiro Park. The park was filled with people walking, running, tango dancing and enjoying the weather! We had such a great time in Madrid! Thanks to Luis and Elena for showing us such a great time!
