Itinerary and Restaurant Recommendations?
I've seen a few itineraries posted for review, and have seen some excellent advice and tips. I've decided to post mine for any tips and restaurant recommendations. We're in our 60's, active, but can't really walk 8-9 miles a day sightseeing anymore. I've tried to keep each day's actitivities fairly low key. I'm a foodie, but my boyfriend isn't. Would appreciate a mix of restaurant recommendations - from historical places to street vendors. But no fancy schmancy small plates - or I will never hear the end of it. 😄 I'm returning after falling in love with 'el DF' 40 years ago, and am hoping to show my BF what I love about the city. Gracias!
