Leaving Spain, off to France; Hendaye and Rennes

View from Hendaye toward San Sebastian (?)

A few days behind blogging here, I have half an excuse but have worked out now how to clumsily write blog on the mobile phone. Story from a few days ago (currently we are in Vernon/Giverny, France)...

Returned to Madrid from Siguenza on train, checked in hotel and took bus into Madrid centre.

Found an excellent cheap restaurant called Puerto Rico where more than we could eat and plenty to drink cost $35 for the two of us.  Learning finally a few little things about ordering food in Spanish restaurants, like a half Sangria for seven Euros means a jug of it, enough for a few glasses each.

Madrid is home to some guitar making shops and the most famous, that of Jose Ramirez, was in the centre of Madrid... and closed as we got to the door.  Alas.

Lots of train travel - Madrid to Hendaye (with overnight stay); Hendaye to Rennes via Bordeaux.


From Hendaye we walked from France and Spain and back again!
