A Night Stroll

This is one of the many markets found in each of the plazas. Each of them have a theme: food, xmas trinkets, etc. This one is Plaza Del Angel that has jewelry. How exciting :P


This is a bustling shopping district, called Apreca,which is off of Puerta Del Sol. I used to listen to this song in spanish class in high school about being in the Puerta Del Sol and now I know what they were talking about.

Calle Alcala. They really know how to light up all of their streets and alley ways. I wonder how much electricidad they use.


La Puerta Alcala. If you look closely to the top left corner of the arch, you can make out the crescent moon.

Me encantada

That´s spanish for the McDonald´s tagline. I always love trying McDonald´s in other places and seeing how they cater their cuisine to the local tastes. In Madrid, I was quite amazed to find that one of their main sandwiches was the Capricho Hindu. Think of it as a McPollo with lots of curry sause on it. It was interesting, but I think I will have a regular McPollo next time ;)


Ah, the Hindu chicken sandwich :)

They have their version of the Monopoly promotional game going on. Although, this one is Hi-Tech!

Lot´s of policia around. Here´s their mode of transport.
