Demonstration on Plaza Mayor in central Madrid. We just happened to be there as innocent bystanders. Lots of people seemed to be unhappy about something, but the whole event was very civil and organized. My Spanish friends will undoubtedly recognize the flags. My knowledge about the event is scanty enough so that I will not try to say more for fear of misrepresenting facts.
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.

Parque del Retiro. MADRID.
Paseo de las Estatuas
El Paseo de la Argentina del Retiro es conocido popularmente como Paseo de las Estatuas, pues está flanqueado por una serie de ellas dedicadas a los monarcas de España, mandadas hacer para la decoración del Palacio Real de Madrid, durante el reinado de Fernando VI. En un principio fueron pensadas que adornasen la cornisa del palacio.
Las figuras fueron realizadas por varios autores, bajo la dirección de los escultores de la Corte Juan Domingo Olivieri y Felipe de Castro. Llegaron a colocarse en la cornisa del Palacio Real según se puede apreciar en algunos grabados de la época, pero a la llegada de Carlos III a Madrid el rey dio orden de retirarlas, pues consideraba el palacio excesivamente adornado. Por esta razón, se colocaron en distintos lugares de la ciudad (Plaza de Oriente, El Retiro, Jardines de Sabatini) y algunas se llevaron a otras provincias españolas.

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.
