Raul was an exceptional host. He was accommodating in every way. He made reservations for us for Flamenco, gave us lots of tips. He also arranged the taxi for us to the train station. Go to Botin restaurant. It is in the Guinness world record for being the earliest restaurant in the world,founded in 1725, ask to be seated downstairs in the cave. You can walk there and pretty much anywhere. The Prado museum was great as was the Grand Palace. Churro with chocolate. Yummy! Raul was just as sweet. Host extraordinaire! 10 star attention!
