Top pick for tapas at any hour of the day or night. Casa de Abuelo. They don’t conform to Madrid’s totally nonsensical closing from 4-8. Cannot beat ther gambas al ajillo. And their Iberian ham is top notch. Cheap wine too. Many branches throughout the city, but Goya is my favorite.

Top pick in Madrid if you are a Hemmingway aficionado like me. Botin, the oldest restaurant in the world, where he penned large portions of The Sun Also Rises. Almost impossible to get in so book early online. Hint: the Sunday afternoon 3:30 slot is your best bet. Can’t beat their Suckling Pig.

Top pick for dining or cutting a business deal in Madrid. Grand Salon of the Hotel Wellington in Salamanca. And it’s nowhere near as expensive as it looks. In fact it’s a bargain.

Greetings from Madrid where last nights comments from Trump were not received well at all. Still the Europeans are treating me with civility & grace. Hard times for sure to be here, but think I have a broader perspective on things now, thanks to the kindness of the men & women of Europe.
