The big space---Plaza Mayor

Of course, another king on horseback.

To the Plaza Major

…And another king.

Food, anyone?

Time for that midday break.

Of course, the king

Of the long nosed family.

To the Plaza

Cars not welcome here.

In the shade

To the Plaza del Sol, shopping.

Twilight

Where the swells live.

Time to relax

Time for tapas.

A walk down Las Huertas

Little squares everywhere.

Spanish hospitality

No one goes thirsty in Madrid.

Another fine joint

A little jazz, maybe?

Everywhere a pub

Guinness everywhere.

That neighborhood place

Hanging on Las Huertas.

Ease into the evening

Plenty of side streets for a cerveza and some tapas.

Book store

Somehow, it looks very Madrid.

Architectural history here

The avenue changes from late 19th century to mid-thirties 20th century.

Feels like home

Suddenly, I desire a cupcake.

Ain't it grand

Along the main stem.

Got it all

Now, that's a newsstand.

On the Grand Via

Starting with some serious Rococo cheesecake.
