Before we head to Madrid this afternoon, we have to see where Christopher Columbus is supposedly buried. The Cathedral looks like the many we have seen on this trip but it is the bell tower that most intrigues us.
So we climb to the top. Quite a work out for me but worth the view at the top.
Our last and final train is the best one yet. It is definitely a business type of train. I am amazed how many people make the hour long commute to the capital.
After checking into our hotel, the next thing on the list is dinner. We made a loop around the block and decided on a tapas bar. They bring out fresh hot appetizers every 20 minutes. The way you pay is how many tooth picks are on your plate. It is the best food we have had yet. And the atmosphere is perfect. Tons of locals eating good food and talking about life. The perfect end to a fabulous dream come true.
Travel Tip: If the restaurant is full of locals, it means it is the best in the area.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
