Has anyone been to Barcelona or Madrid?

13. I will send you a couple of tapas recs - there was one in Barcelona in particular that was

very good - went here a couple of nights

and another in Madrid where we ended up spending several hours because of the view

need to go back and get specifics

If you get a chance - take the fast train between Barcelona and Madrid - and if possible, book first class

We did enjoy Sevilla - but in order - Barcelona was definitely our favorite - then Madrid - then Sevilla.

If you enjoy art - then the museums are absolutely first class. If your are science-bent, then make sure to

- see the museum under the Gaudi Sacrada Familia - fascinating how he used mathematics and life sciences
in his architecture.
- In Sevilla - in a non-descript museum - the Archives of the Indies - see Newton's Principia and other significant mathematicians works

Must sees - Inside the Sacrada Familia in Barcelona and Picasso's Guernica in Madrid - perhaps the most important work of art in Europe imo
