I have been stuck in the centre of Madrid for a while. I had to cancel my Christmas Holiday to see my family, whom I haven't seen since 2019, the day of my flight. I know these are first world problems.
But I was going loopy.
All the regional borders are still closed, so a couple of us decided to go to a Casa Rural; a wonderful tradition of renting a house in the countryside, where you eat, drink, walk, maybe go to a local restaurant.
So we did. We headed to the diminutive village of Valdemanco, about an hour north of Madrid in the Sierra.
We ate, drank, walked, and went to a local restaurant.
This video is more of a 'mood piece'. As in essence it was filming 'nothing'. But hopefully gives a nice snapshot into a small local slice of freedom.
