The adventure continues, in Madrid. Yesterday and last night in Madrid, I got a big dose of what the effects of COVID have meant in Spain. Yesterday with my long-time BGF Gabriela Llamas, who told me that she, her husband and three grown children had all had the virus, as well as her 91-year old mother Clara Maria González de Amezua. With Gabi, I visited Clara Maria at her wonderful home in Puerta de Hierro.
After a jet-lag siesta, I set out by Metro from Callao, just off the Gran Via, to Marisquería Rafa, where I could not call because my Spanish movil number was taken away because I have been out of the country for so long due to the COVID restriction on entry. I arrived to find Rafa closed on Sunday nights now, so I took taxi to Casa Lucio, my other habitual Sunday night in Madrid haunt. I had a terrific taxi driver who called Casa Lucio (at 10:30 p.m.) and Lucio daughter Mari answered. I talked to her and she told me Lucio also was closed now on Sunday nights, but La Taberna de Lucio, just across the street was open and her brother Fernando was there and that I should go.
