In April, I visited Trento for an EU project meeting:

We stayed in a hotel in Sardagna and had this beautiful view from the balcony. The Grappa was fantastic and I loved eating pizza with freshly cut Speck. See a few more photos in the slideshow.

I visited Toulouse in April to present a workshop paper at the European Conference on Information Retrieval:

Toulouse had a wonderful atmosphere and the confit du canard was delicious. See a few more photos in the slideshow.

Finally, in June, I visited Madrid for an EU project meeting:

A colleague recommended a particular cafe for churros, and we were not disappointed. I also managed to visit some friends and see parts of Madrid that were a little off the beaten track. See a few more photos in the slideshow.
