Puerta de Alcalá was one of the five gates in Madrid city walls. This neoclassical gate was completed in 1778, replacing an older one from the XVI c. Today, the walls are long gone and the gate is in the middle of a busy roundabout of Plaza de la Independencia. It looks good with the clouds, though.

Paseando por la calle Hortaleza, cerca ya de la Gran Vía de Madrid, encuentro esta fachada tan especial, con esta librería donde encontrar joyas literarias de segunda mano.

Atocha station (Estación de Madrid Atocha) is Madrid's largest followed by Chamartín station in the north. The station was inaugurated in 1951 and was subsequently expanded, in 1865 and 1892. The most notable feature of the work done in the latter year is the roof over the central section, behind this exterior. Designed by the engineer Saint-James and measuring 152 metres long by 48 metres wide and rising to a height of 27 metres, it has become one of the city's best-known landmarks.
A pretty lady I met in Madrid. Even this late, in the middle of October, she looked splendid.
