From Madrid. En directo

I'm back in Madrid after almost 2 years and boy does it feel great to be here again. Everywhere I go, there's extensive talk of the crisis and a lingering wave of uncertainty hangs menacingly in the air.  In spite of this, Madrid is still Madrid, a pulsating colossus of life and energy, and a welcome change to the cold, wind-swept Nordic winter. It's lovely to see and feel the sun again !

La Plaza mayor : A haven for tricksters and street artists

Christmas market, somewhere near La Plaza Mayor: Madrid has trimmed the lighting expenses this year, but still looks like a well decorated Christmas tree for the most part.


Madrid by night: Weaving in and out of the busy streets by scooter is by far the best way to really experience this city.
