Hi Everyone.... It doesn't really feel like Halloween today, but that's just fine by me! I'm up and having breakfast at our hotel... It's really nice here and MUCH more quiet than the youth hostel in Madrid! I am posting my pictures here so have a look.It's a cool and sunny morning so far and not too many people are around for breakfast... which is fine, too. Yesterday, we met some nice families who are staying here- from Germany.... a Colombian woman, her German hubby and their son. We also met a couple from London- a British woman and her Brasilian boyfriend. Very nice people.
Tapas compliments from our waiter...
