Hi!

It may sound stupid but, one thing that looked very curious to me the first time I came to Madrid, was the incredible smell to "goffre" that you can breathe inside Sol Metro stop.

What do you think about this?. It smells very good to me!.

You could travel by metro in the 1st line with your eyes totally closed and, due to the goffre smell, you could know that you've reached Sol stop.

A goffre is a kind of cake with hot chocolat on it.

Bye!

Oh if I could only capture smells and put them on my website Big Grin Smiler Big Grin

Great observation totx, I would have posted on this sooner but I wanted to get a photo to explain to everyone what a "Goffre" is.

So, in leiu (spelling?) of the lovely smells, you can see a "Goffre" by CLICKING HERE. Unfortunately, I ony got a shot of untopped ones but not to fear, I will soon add one of the real deal. The "Goffres" or Belgian Waffles are, as totx mentioned, usually topped off with chocolate syrup, hot fudge, strawberry or any number of yummy toppings and whipped cream if you like, oh the possible combinations are endless Big Grin !

Hey, I am going to try that eye closing thing next time I am on the 1, 2, or 3 line and test my sense of smell.

Saludos,
jer...
