The ride on the Teleferico up to the Casa de Campo is worth doing, too.

A5 #pttravel Of course! A good part of travel is sampling the local scran. But, sometimes, it pays to make a careful scrutiny of the source to avoid 'Delhi Belly', the 'Curse of the Pharaohs' or 'Montezuma's Revenge' or whatever ....

A5 I'm always drinking a lot of water no matter where I am. Besides that the food is very different from home, because I like local cusine #pttravel

A5 #pttravel Do I indulge? Absolutely, I usually burn so many calories I can get away with it. I'll usually eat what the locals eat. When I was in the Balkans I had only local cuisine and ate very well down there. Menu in Bosnia, great fish.

A5. Yes! The biggest challenge I found this year was different eating times in Spain and Portugal. I'd just end up snacking continually until 10pm. #pttravel

replying to @StromfieldAdvs @StromfieldAdvs @kate_frankie @russellofearth @NomadKeith @heywhatsupcourt @ManvsGlobe @findinganeish @CharlesMcCool @RoamingRequired @PT_Explorer @HHLifestyleTrav I was there a few years ago for New Years and your list sounds exactly like mine! The Prado was amazing as was the Guernica over at the Reina Sophia Museum. If you have time for a daytrip to Toledo, do it! Toledo Cathedral is stunning. #PTTravel

A5 #PTTravel
I'm much more focused on healthy eating and generally a bit less to eat at home.
When I travel, I love to taste the local dish and to have a beer, wine or regional drink. It's part of exploring and those experiences are important to me

replying to @vickyinglis13 @vickyinglis13 I think introverts and extroverts need different things. You need to listen to what your body and mind needs I believe. I was very bad at that when I was in my 20s but 30s have changed the way I interact. Also what I walk away from #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5. Ha! Indulgence is my middle name when I’m on holiday! 😀I love eating different things, weird things, and things I can’t pronounce in addition to the usual pastries, chocolates, etc. Headed to Hong Kong this month and plan to immerse into Cantonese cuisine. #PTTravel

replying to @StromfieldAdvs @StromfieldAdvs It is so important to give yourself a day just to do nothing if you don't feel like it. It becomes a treadmill of travel activities otherwise and loses its fun for me #PTTravel

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish @kate_frankie I find that there are so many things that cannot possibly be in my control when I travel, that it's just not worth the stress of trying. I find it easier to deal with unexpected events while I travel than at home #pttravel
