Hola!
My third day in Spain and things have generally been very good.  Madrid was a lot of fun and we ate and drank much.  I have had so many pork products that I may come home with a curly tail.  And I did eat roasted pig´s tail!
The bullfight was enjoyable.  The men in the ring were both skilled and brave.  The bulls certainly were dangerous.  Now I know why I would never run with the bulls.  You do not mess with a 500-600 pound beast with two sharp horns.  The arena was packed and it sure seems bullfighting remains popular in Madrid.
Hit my first winery today, Abadia Reteurta.  It was a good visit and got to taste some very good wines, including the superb Pago Negralada.  I also got my wine salts!
Dinner today at a grill in Valladolid.  Maybe try some suckling lamb tonight.
More updates will follow, as well as full reports, with pictures.  Probably have 200+ pictures already and still many more days to come.
Adios for now.
Braggart.
