Now I’m excited. We’re just 6 days away from take off and I have 610 EUROs in my wallet. WHEE! I’ve spent hours mapping our itinerary and have, if I do say so myself, created a fabulous experience for us. My sister and best friend Kim meet Mike and I in Madrid and we take off from there. Sunday May 18th is International Museum Day so the Prado is free as is a concert in the Parque del Retiro so our first day is culture and FREE!
From Madrid we train to Bilbao and explore the city. The Guggenheim and the Museu de Art Modern and the Zoo. Then a drive to San Sebastian exploring Basque fishing villages along the way. In San Sebastian we’ll have great food, tapas, art and an exploration of the Aquarium and the foothills of the Pyrennes. Whoosh, off to Barcelona for days of wandering the streets looking at art, architecture, churches, sculpture and parks, and sampling tapas, vino and music.
Kim’s boyfriend Rob and my cousin’s daughter Kendra join us in Barcelona and we take off for the islands. A short flight to Majorca has us finishing out the trip on the Mediterranean beaches, sailing, snorkeling, spelunking and wandering through Miro’s studio. I highly recommend the Tudor Dawn Charters. Susie has been really amazing to work with and we’re all set up for a day on the water.
