España: MaiTaiTom’s Still “Insane For Spain”

It had been ten years since Tracy and I went “insane for Spain,” so in October, we decided to revisit an old favorite (Madrid), and rent a car to travel to a few Spanish towns not on our radar in 2015.  After nearly a week exploring Spain’s capital city and its environs, Tracy and I visited Burgos, a major stopping point for those who hike the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, complete with its majestic World Heritage Site cathedral. Then we would eventually (rental car foreshadowing alert) head off to León, also located along the Camino, where our tapas consumption would ramp up in the Barrio Húmedo.
