Espana Espana!! What a Spanish fiesta we have had for the last 2 weeks - our relaxing chilled out holiday just got ramped up a few paces and it's all thanks to the Spanish who know how to party!! We flew into Madrid exactly 2 weeks ago and that's when it all started... After spending our first day site seeing in Madrid we joined a tapas tour to get a taste of the local cuisine; it's very different to The tapas back home.

On our way to Dumfries we swung by Glasgow for the afternoon to check out the city and visit the old merchant...
