Fun Family Travel To Madrid
Traveling Trio Family enjoyed their fun family travel to Madrid (Spain). In Madrid you can experience yummy treats, jamon, museums, architecture and so much more!
Also, capital of Spain turned out to be gluten-free person’s best friend. It’s our opinion that Madrid had the best gluten-free baked items, and olive oil, and olives, and vegetables, and fruit…. (so far).
