In the cellars of an old medieval Spanish monastery, there is a sign that says: 'wine is culture'. Well, the same could be said of gastronomy. I think it is fascinating to enjoy, if not all, at least the main dishes of the countries and cities you visit. And coming to Madrid and not trying, at least, its stew (at least in winter) is missing out on a good experience. It is good to include this part in any travel chronicle. Thank you for your comment and I also wish you a happy week.
