Hi Janelle - I totally relate to your "ahhh, this is Spain" feeling. I lived in Sevilla for a year and have spent a lot of time in Madrid. The warmth I have experienced from the Spanish culture and people never ceases to amaze me. Now that I'm back in California I reminisce all the time about the little things I loved in Spain... things like 2 euro tapas, chalk tabs on the bar, and of course the food and wine! I'm so excited to have discovered this blog so I can live vicariously through you!
