One of my favorite cities! Beautiful. Thanks for sharing, MarketArt.

We were there in November...just booked the Valparaiso tour with the concierge the day prior. It's a whole day private tour. I requested from our guide that we return to the hotel by 5 pm so that we could freshen up in time for the welcome dinner (with a cushion for delays). He organized the day accordingly. There was substantial traffic returning to Santiago, which he factored in. If we had taken a group tour, they couldn't guarantee that we would return in time.

It was a great day; our guide was a great resource of historical and cultural information and we're glad we went. Loved the street art and general vibe. Very different from the rest of the Patagonia tour.

I steer clear of those whirlwind tours. Just back from a week in Madrid, gorgeously bedecked for the holidays. And if you're looking for something beyond German Christmas markets, Madrid's month-long Feria Mercado de Artesania is an elegant miles-long day out, 130+ artists. Not to mention all the museums; Matisse at the Caixa Forum was high on my list. Cheers.

‘Tis the Season

Whether you light the first candle on your menorah this evening to celebrate Hanukkah, or decorate your tree to celebrate Christmas, or do something else, or have a more secular viewpoint, embrace it all.

May the year ahead bring us peace, harmony and, most of all, tolerance.

Enjoy the season and may your travels in the new year be rewarding.
