I'd have thought that Barcelona would be the more popular destination.
The one
thing I keep hearing over the years about Madrid is that it's Pickpocket
Central.


That's exactly what I would have thought as well. The places that do
intrigue me in Spain are Barcelona, Bilbao and Seville.

I'm really curious about Portugal. You never hear anything about it (at least
here in the US). It looks like heaven geographically, and the history of the
place is unbelievably rich. Yet I don't know anyone who's ever been there.
