coffee
madrid is such a great coffee city. having been there for several work trips in the past, there were so many places i’d been to and wanted to take james, but we were only able to hit a few. i also wanted to be able to try some new places! anyhow, i’ve only included the ones we did on this trip, but maybe one of these days i’ll make a post with photos from some of the other spots i’ve been..
