Segovia and a bit more Madrid

Segovia, about an hour on bus North of Madrid was magical, probably prettier that Cuenca or Toledo, both previous trips out of Madrid very much like the Sicilian town of Taormina. Lots of good tapas, THE aquaduct and a fantastic meal of roast piglet (cochinillo - the town's dish) in Restaurante Jose Marie



Some great tapas, not a bad one in three days, best was this kind of stewed, maybe pickled lomo



Went back to Madrid, for last two days visited all old haunts, loved Malasna's regulars as well as around Sol.  We were staying near Principo Pio with a great view of the Royal Palace, went to a bar twice we have walked past before and is now definitely on our favourites - Restaurante El Urogallo.  Massive ladle full of great albondigas and potatoes for a tapas, good wine, went back for a couple of media racions, rabo del toro outstanding.

Home now, bit sad, tired and fridge freezer has died!!!
