The Sorolla Museum is amazing. I first visited in 1975 when I was studying in Spain, and returned in 2017. The house itself (and the gardens) is a glimpse into the artist’s life, and is like an oasis in the city. My husband was blown away. Off the beaten path, but well worth the time and effort.

What a rebel you are. We’re going to Spain next month and I heard the museo cerralbo is more of a must see than the palace. Any opinions?

It is in the home of the artist, Joaquin Sorolla. On Paseo del General Martinez Campos 37. Can’t wait to return!

Cafes sound great! And will definitely go to Reina Sophia. S
Already started our course in Tapas in Barcelona. Yum.
Gracias for all.

We also enjoy Rick Steves (and he is a local boy!) but also broke with his suggestions. When we went to Italy as well as in Istanbul on a tour (UW not Rick) we did a lot of what you did. Explored, ate in little shops and cafes, went to parks, got moderately lost in cities. Probably missed LOTS of great stuff but what could be more romantic than seeing newlyweds strolling in Venice?
