Every year, there is a big photography festival in Spain called PhotoEspaña.
There are many exhibitions and other events around the country, but heavily
concentrated in Madrid. Last Wednesday, my daughter and I made a day trip to
Madrid to look at 6 of those exhibitions, including the amazing “In the
American West”, the first time Avedon’s collection has been shown in Europe in
its entirety. We had planned the day carefully, taking into account the metro
routes (needed to minimise the walking outside in 40C heat), and the fact that
I wanted to have lunch in the excellent restaurant of the Círculo de Bellas
Artes, one of my favourite spots in Madrid. We left Alicante at 8:30 in the
morning and returned around 11 p.m. Thanks to the high-speed train which covers
the 450 km in about 2 1/2 hours, reaching speeds of more than 300 km/h, such a
day trip is very doable. I will probably repeat it before the end of the
September since there are several exhibitions which we did not have time to see.

And if anybody is in Madrid this summer, I highly recommend having a look at
the web site of the event and visiting some of the exhibitions:
