Today the all the training came to fruition. (Tapas and wine training to be precise).
After 12.5 hours to Doha and 7.5 hours to Madrid, we finally arrived in Spain for a two day lay-over,  before we go to Astorga to start the walk.
After wandering around Madrid for an hour or so, led by Compass and the realization that we had gone too far, we fortified ourselves with a beer, before we back-tracked to a pleasant restaraunt near Plaza Mayor for tapas and vino Tinto. We are all whacked and need a good sleep, so off to bed. More later....(TL)

Great Tapas and great wine.......we miss you already Kluster!
