The 2nd stop possibly could be omitted but it might be because there wasn’t much going on this time of year. We bought a donut at the local bakery and either the clerk made a mistake or took advantage of us, but either way, Laura took care of it. I’d go on this trip again. The winery owner was so knowledgeable. The tapas were some of the best we had in Madrid.”
