Las Ventas Bull-ring
by Carmela71
Bullfighting is a very popular tradition in Spain, especially in Madrid.
The best places to see a "corrida" is here and in Sevilla at "Maestranza"
Again if you think bullfighting is cruel
or you do not like it...
you do not have to go.....
but let other countries
to keep their uses....
I am spanish
I do not like bullfighting
But I understnad it as part of a culture ...
GOOD COMPANY
by parsix
Many people travel to distant places to have the blast of their lives. Madrid is a clasic example of that.
Good times have to do with good company. I wanted to include this picture because it's one of those few moments of true hapiness. I acknowledge it's a terrible picture of myself ( excuse me, I had only slept 9h in the past 3 days). But despite the looks (or lack of them), and the venue (the joy), I was with such wonderful people, and that my friends, makes the difference.

I found a cool white lamp as a slowly rotating globe (earth) in an home furnishing shop in Chueca...and as a bonus I got to see famous actress Antonia San Juan (All about my mother) standing at the counter buying something :)
