Evening promenade
by Lalique
After delicious and hefty dinner Madrid was eager to show me around a bit more, maybe it was influenced by the fact that I once revealed that I like cities at night, who knows...
We walked along Gran Via watching the brightly lighted windows and blinking neon signes, groups of youngsters laughing and chatting loudly rushed back and froth in search of friends and entertainment.... Madrid wispered into my ear - hey, watch it, the night has just began, you'll see the city that never sleeps...
Spanish peseta changed to Euro
by Birsen
The Euro is the new 'single currency' of the European Monetary Union, adopted on January 1, 1999 by 11 Member States. Spanish Peseta changed to Euro. Peseta is not valid anymore. Spanish people is still speaking on peseta about values of things . So do not confuse yourself. For your info, I Euro = 166.386 peseta.
***No problem for Visa/Plus (ATM Locator) or MasterCard/Cirrus. There are plenty of them particularly in touristic areas.
