I’m in Madrid speechifying about aircraft repair and parts. Thrilling stuff, I know. Have a Armada Española Harrier for your time. Some additional pics from the trip below.

Those are Fiat 600s by the look of the longer wheelbase, they probably were produced by Seat since it is Spain after all, and Seat started of building Fiats.

Dumb question: do they really call their navy the Armada Española?

It is what you do. The bull fights are on and about a block from where we are staying, but that isn't my thing.

Yeah, I'm not a fan. But one more thing: You shall not leave the country without eating a Jamon Serrano (or Jamon Iberico) sandwich. I didn't appreciate it fully as a younger guy, but their cured ham is amazing. Spain does the pig thing extremely well.

That was lunch yesterday. Good stuff. I also have sausage in the fridge from the same shop. Yum.
