Not to metion the NotesFromSpain forum is very good for getting tips. I lived in Madrid till August of last year when I moved to BCN, so for a tip, check out the restaurant Memento - Run by a midwesterner, and doing some interesting blends of American and Spanish Cusine. If you stop in ask for Karen and tell her Ryan from catavino sent you! Thu Apr 26 00:23:59 -0700 2007 2468139 94161 RyanOpaz 2 2521384 Ryan, thanks for the tip on notesfromspain.com! Looks like a lot of useful info to sort through in my last month or so here. Memento is already on my (very long, somewhat ambitious) list of places to go. Hope to actually make it there...
