Madrid wasn’t on my list, except as a connection flight (San Sebastian -> Madrid -> Porto) but due to a missed connection, I’m spending the night here.

This place has been a great visit in Spain. We had three days here, and its been a great stop over to take in, with amazing food in the setting of a really nice beach town in Spain.

This was a side trip to Bilbao which is the home of the Guggenheim’s museum in Europe. Its a fascinating piece of architecture in what was an old mining town.

Two days in Biarritz. It’s a surfing city, on the coast of southern France. It’s nice enough, and certainly very pretty with ocean views.

You can see the swimmers and surfers in the water.

Heading down to Spain today

It’s been a great day of wine tasting, eating, and generally having a nice time to finish up here. Also at trip to Libourne . That follows on from exploring the town yesterday.

Off to Biarritz tomorrow.
