A taste of Madrid


I just spoke with Benner. He's in Madrid writing a freelance travel article. He'll share details with you when he gets back but in the mean time here are a few details to tide you over....

Benner went to the oldest restaurant in the world today! It's in Madrid and called Restaurante Botin. Founded in 1725, it's had many different owners but has been in the same family for the past four generations. It was yummy!

He also discovered a painter name Joaquin Sorrolla (see painting above). He said Sorolla captures movement so well and evokes much emotion. He said one of his favorites is of a monk with disadvantaged children at the beach.
