Spain

We are now back in Sweden after a short journey to Spain...

We arrived to Barcelona Tuesday evening and had the first meeting in Girona the day after. Thanks to our meeting partner we also had the opportunity to visit a liquor store which had a huge whisky range, everything from the local whisky D.Y.C to some rare bottles from Japan.
 We then went back to Barcelona and one more meeting and after that the train to Madrid...

Yesterday we, along other meetings, met with the Swedish Chamber of Commerce and visit a beautiful store that had a much smaller but more exclusive and well chosen range of whisky. I love when stores have tasting areas, events and this one even had a bar! It's more pleasure and feeling in it that way!

We ended the night on a Swedish bar called "La Sueca" but unfortunately the owners weren’t there, it had been interesting to talk to them and learn a little more about Spanish drinking culture. 
 
I also have to tell you about our Spanish hero. Late Thursday, we sat outside a bar when a vagrant suddenly came up to us, mumbling something and then disappeared very quickly. The waiter rushed to us and asked if we have had anything of value on the table. We said we didn't think so but the waiter ran after the guy anyway and later returned with one of our cell phones... Mucha gracias senor!

Saludos!
Sanna
