I've lived in both Barcelona and Madrid. Love them both, but Madrid's got more of everything. Btw, including "gracious"/"elegant" boulevards. But looking for Belle Epoque elegance and boulevards in Chueca or Lavapies is like looking for the boulevards of the Eixample in the Barri Gotic. For bourgeois elegance and turn of the century boulevards, go to the Paseos (Prado, Recoletos, Castellana) and the barrios (neighborhoods of) de Jeronimos, Salamanca, Chamberi and Arguelles, just to name a few (they're not all that far a walk from Chueca or a short subway ride in one of the world's great metro systems). And by the way, given the wonderful variety of restaurants in Madrid, your comment about Madrid cuisine is criminally uninformed. May I recommend a better guide book: TimeOut Guide to Madrid, for instance, written by long-time residents of the city. The town is a gourmand's delight.<BR/><BR/>Happy eating and screwing,<BR/><BR/>Jason ArgonautAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139328.post-1149517382877890882006-06-05T10:23:00.000-04:002006-06-05T10:23:00.000-04:00HBO v.

I could live with being behind and watching all the HBO series on DVD in return for living in a modernistic wonderland replete with fresh baked goodness, coffee, and young catalunyan men dripping with sex on every corner.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869584065420927072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139328.post-1149474986233801112006-06-04T22:36:00.000-04:002006-06-04T22:36:00.000-04:00I've just been away for the past two weeks working...I've just been away for the past two weeks working outdoors deep in the Yukon forest, and am enjoying catching up on life with the Farmboyz. These little sketches you've done are gorgeous! (Both the pictures and prose). <BR/><BR/>CooperAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
