My daughter came home from 2 weeks in the US on Friday morning, so I had to go
to Madrid to pick her up. I drove to the capital Thursday morning, very early,
to visit as many photo exhibitions as I could manage. The PhotoEspaña festival
is huge, and to really see it all, you need at least a week. I had just one
day, but I think I used it wisely. I visited 7 exhibitions, and I also explored
some neighbourhoods with which I was not familiar, including the somewhat
gritty Puente de Vallecas neighbourhood where I had booked my hotel for the
night, and the centre of Madrid’s LGBT life, Chueca, where I went to have
dinner at a Japanese-European fusion restaurant called Sr. Ito (well, at in
least in Spanish the name is amusing, as it is pronounced señorito).
I arrived at my hotel around 11 a.m. on Thursday and spent the rest of the day
walking around the city, a bit challenging in 40C weather (104F for you
imperials). But cold drinks are widely available, we are not exactly talking
the Sahara here. And on Friday morning I had time for a quick visit to the
wonderful Retiro park before heading to the airport to meet Monica.
A relatively small gallery is here:

It is a bit different from my usual city galleries, as there are more people
pictures than usual.
As always, comments and critique are welcome and appreciated.
