Madrid, Spain
Madrid is wayyy more fast-paced than the south. Thankfully got my fix for tortilla de patata and awesome history. You need a full month to really get to know Madrid.

Love the city, the food and how fashionable everyone is. Truly one of my favorite cities!! Seeing everyone again is always a highlight but such a tricky thing to balance w other plans

Round 2: truffle mushroom bowl with spicy herb tofu and a side of stracciatella tomatoes blew my mind. I would say it’s the most different from the other bowls!!
