Are there any good reliable kosher places in Madrid besides BaGhetto? We plan on going to MAD for 2 days.
Thanks for your paris review, one q what cell phone / sim did you use while in paris ?
I found Matt to be excellent to. Probably the best way to see the changing of the guard.
Do you have contact info for him?
If i have 2 days in spain, whats my best city to check out? with a bakery or kosher food of some sort.
Very nice TR thanks for thatEspecially the London partAlso not making me feel bad I canceled the knightbridge and opted for the grand Sheraton which was a greater value at the time of my booking
Wednesday, July 1, 2015 BarcelonaLike the rest of Spain, Barcelona was also experiencing a heat wave. While it was only in the high 80s here, it was extremely humid, especially compared to dry Madrid. We spent the morning just walking around Las Ramblas. It didn’t take as long as we thought it would, so we headed to the end for views of the W hotel (although we didn’t go all the way out to the hotel itself). At 11am we took a free walking tour that leaves from Travel Bar in Las Ramblas. It’s a 2.5-hour tour that doesn’t enter any churches, which was great. The tour was really informative and I think well worth it, so I ended up tipping our guide €20 (for lack of a smaller bill). We were quite hungry by 1:30 (we even left the tour a bit early), so we headed to Maccabi for lunch, just ahead of the lunch rush. The food there was good, although nothing truly stood out as exceptional.Mmmm, hot food from MaccabiAfter lunch we headed via Metro to Park Güell. The difference between Park Güell and Retiro Park couldn’t have been more different. While Retiro Park was lush, green, flat and shady, Park Güell was hillier, less shady, and had a lot more of a hike-feel than a park feel. We made it to the park in the heat of the day, making it a bit uncomfortable. We did walk around the free section of the park and found some shady areas to sit in with views of Gaudi’s structures below. I’d have kept hiking up, but DW wasn’t in the mood and we had great city views from where we were.Some streets had escalators to get to the park......Others did notSome Gaudi structures in the parkRandom dude floating near the parkWe spent about 1.5 hours at the park before heading back to the city to the oldest shul in Europe. Our tour guide had mentioned the shul on the tour, but we didn’t get a chance to stop in. We arrived just as a tour was starting, so we joined the tour (really a presentation and you don’t walk anywhere). We both found the presentation interesting, and although short, we enjoyed it very much. Oldest shul in EuropeWith some time to go until dinner (we weren’t hungry yet), we walked back to our apartment and cooled off a bit before heading back to Maccabi for dinner. As with BaGhetto in Rome, we planned on ordering food to go from Maccabi for Seville. We did order food just fine, but forgot that chumus is a liquid and as such wouldn’t be allowed in our carry on bags. Whoops! Not to worry, I took a tip from my MIL and froze the chumus overnight so it was a solid block. We ended up checking it in with our bag (Ryanair remember), but we might have gotten away with bringing it on the plane in the frozen state (it was a solid, not a liquid at that point). We turned in early for the night once again having had an enjoyable day and looking forward to an early start the next day for our flight to Seville.Fish Paella (top) and Chicken Paella (bottom) from Maccabi
