Summer evenings in Madrid lend themselves to outdoor dining and drinking, with nearly every street and plaza taken up with tables. Even tiny restaurants and bars spread themselves out as evening temperatures become pleasant. Since Madrilenos start the dinner hour late, we took this picture around 8 pm while waiting for the restaurant to open at 9! Until then, only bread and wine…and olives.
Rethymno is a rare combination of history and modern-day luxury, with its multicultural old town, tropical beaches and exquisite Cretan cuisine.
