La Rosaleda in El Retiro Park Madrid🌹✈️
I visited the Rose Garden in fall, and it was still super green with plenty of roses on the bushes. But, the best time to go is definitely in the spring. In the spring the roses will be the most vibrant and they will even be covering the trellises. The garden is located in the beautiful El Retiro

Day trip to Bilbao, Spain
Even tho it was a grey and misty day we enjoyed our day trip to Bilbao very much. For one thing the temperature is much cooler than in Madrid. We drove from Burgos so it was about a 2 hour drive. I was surprised to see a lot of signs in Euskera. I knew they spoke a different language from Spanish
