Pasaia Maritime Festival San Sebastian
San Sebastian is so much more than pintxos and beaches. Today we discovered the sea-faring side, just a dozen miles outside of town, at the Pasaia Maritime Festival. This event happens every two years and showcases heritage boats and ships to celebrate a seafaring...

La Charca Taberna: Asturian Cuisine in Madrid
A few years ago, Mary and I made an unexpected boat trip to Santa Pola, Spain, just outside of Alicante. We stumbled on Restaurante Asturiano La Sidreria, with a nice outdoor patio next to what looked like an ancient fortress. We didn’t know it, but this simple eatery...

Royal Botanical Garden of Madrid
It’s warming up in Madrid – high 80s, low 90s. So we search for interesting things to do that get us out of the sun. A little later today we will visit the nearby Madrid Archaeological Museum. A few days ago, we escaped into the 20-acre oasis that is the...

Almost Homeless in Madrid
Almost homeless in Madrid. When we last posted, we happily boasted about our travel day from San Sebastian to the Spanish capital. No problem storing our bags, an on-time train, and a comfortable ride in first class. The travel gods were smiling. We should have known...

SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH RON & MARY JAMES
Sometimes a simple walk in Madrid turns into a magical memory. Yesterday was one of those. Our plan was to stroll in nearby El Retiro Park and grab a bite on the way back. What we experienced was an almost five-mile-long sensory-rich adventure and an unexpected Sunday...

Above and Beyond in Granada
We usually focus on food and drink when we do a restaurant post. This one isn’t necessarily about food, although it was outstanding. This is about restaurant employees who go above and beyond good table service. Mary had a craving for paella, and we found a...
