well after many years of waiting spain finally won the european cup!!! and you could her it in the streets all night!! as i live right in the center i could hear people going nuts and boozing until the very early hours. lots of hangovers this morning im sure. well done spain its sets an example to the England team on how to get past the semis and actually win. everything is possible….

Also another really great bar is Shamrocks Irish Bar right oppostie the templo de debod. I was there watching the games and it was fantastic. They had beer promotions on and the jumbo hotdogs they serve are awesome. check out the website www.shamrocksirishbar.com thats how i found it. all the best
Wow - I wish I had been in Madrid for all that celebrating! but unfortunately I could only watch it via highlight clips on ESPN. hahaha It just wasn’t the same. I was pleasantly surprised though - I thought Spain’s win got some decent coverage here in the USA
