Thread: Went to Spain and all I got was this lousy razor

Awesoem souvenir from what sounds like a nice vacation. Bonus is you will actually use it and thus remember the trip more as opposed to some trinket that gets put on a shelf and forgotten

Too many deployments to Rota, Spain to count. Fantastic country. Great food and bodegas. The best sherry in the world IMHO. Always looked forward to tapa hopping in Cadiz if I got a Saturday off.

Much better momento then one of those decorative plates....

A #14 Filly in the wild.... Doesn't get much better! Enjoy.

Congratulations on the 14 find. That has to be the icing on the cake for a trip to Barcelona.

It's has been since the late 70's since I was in Barcelona. Stayed at La Pensione Hotel California. Afternoons sitting on the Ramblas watching everyone walking by, while I enjoyed a cigar.
The one thing that could break the mood was daily harassment by uniformed and armed Spanish troops who wanted to check your passport and yes that was the one you checked yesterday. Sadly Franco was still alive at that time. I could easily spend the rest of my days in Barcelona.

An easy going attractive city to be sure. I spent many an hour in the lovely weather sitting at the cafe's with a beer and a Havana cigar hanging out of my mouth. I felt like Hemingway for a week.

What a great story and an extremely cool way to find a beautiful razor... a Fili 14 to boot!! Now that's what I call making memories.
Congratulations and enjoy!
