Walking through Madrid.

Hello friends: Today I decided to be a tourist in Madrid. After visiting the ABC Museum where I enjoyed the exhibition about Art Deco and TBO, I decided to take a tour of Madrid. So I started the Runtastic and started walking towards the Plaza de España.

The tower of Spain is currently being remodeled and there is an advertisement on its facade.
This canvas that covers the façade has won the Guinness record for being the largest in the world so far.

The central fountain of the Plaza de España.

Temple of Debod that was brought stone by stone because it was given to us by Egypt in gratitude for our collaboration to rescue from the flood and disappearance of several temples, especially that of Abu Simbel, for the construction of the Asuan Dam.

There were still traces of the previous day's snowfall.
From here the views are spectacular, especially the sunsets

We ate the menu well at Café Rio, a very pleasant restaurant because of its quiet surroundings next to the Manzanares River.
After lunch, I decided that I would go to see Andy Warhol's exhibition Caixaforum.

While I was heading there, I turned aside to see the Cathedral of Almudena, which strangely I did not know yet. A few days ago I published a * post * special for her and that you can see in my blog.
To get there before I went through the gardens of Sabatini and the Royal Palace.

Throughout Spain a strong patriotic sentiment has been created in response to the * secessionist process * of some parties in Catalonia that together did not reach even 50% of the votes. On many balconies, Spanish constitutional flags are hung.

After the Almudena Cathedral, go through the Plaza Mayor, always so lively and picturesque.

Then, following all the Atocha street, I arrived at the Caixaforum where I saw the Warhol exhibition that excited me, even though I did not think I would like it very much.

 

When I left, I followed the Huertas street and went back to the Plaza Mayor and the San Miguel market, which at night is very colorful because of its color. From there, passing through Opera, again to the Plaza de España where I had a coffee and a well-deserved rest in Faborit.

The calamari sandwich is very typical and recommended in Madrid

In the Plaza de España I had a coffee and a well-deserved rest in Faborit.
This cafeteria for me has been a real crush. An ideal place to relax and take strength after having done 14 Km. Happy and satisfied.
