madrid olè :-) looks like heaven and reminds me to travel to spain again. the pictures reminds me also to almudena grandes. have you read one of her books? happy sunday*
thank you Jane for the glimpse to Madrid! i once was there, years ago, stood in a square, saw the people around, music was coming from somewhere unknown, it felt like home, slightly different faces, different language, i thought i could stay and live here and get older (soon they found me and called me back :)
thank you so much, so nice to be taken to madrid while having my late breakfast on a lazy sunday morning in cold and cloudy germany! it seems to be wonderful there, so enjoy your time! and let's have another walk again soon ;o)
Wow... you have at least one "follower" for every day of the year! Sometimes when I "pop" in, I think yeah, I'm comment number 87 so I'll just wait until next time. Now I think I made it to number 8!
Just wanted to say "hello". We made it back from our show and are just busy catching up. As usual, lovely photos that makes one really want to travel and see it all!
Thank you Jane for sharing beautiful Madrid with us. That picture of cookies look like they were coins, complete with a face of a ghost :) Pirates alive! :)
oh my.... madrid! i so do not know. but i am tempted while walking along your pictures.... thank you for that quick trip. bye, nadine ps - bloomin' 'eck, those cookies!!!!
It looks more colorful than it did in 1965 when I was there. I do remember staying in a hotel that had a little balcony like the ones you have posted. I still have my Majorca pearls I bought with my last $20.
Are you still in Madrid? Can't believe you shot most of my street... I'm just back from Alicante, leave me a message if you're around. I'd love to meet you.
Really, really enjoyed the little walk around Madrid. Just 8 weeks and I'll be there myself - SO can't wait. Thanks for your little slices of Spain - I do love this blog.
I saw this in my blog reader and didn't get to peek until today. As usual, lovely photos that take me right into your world. And the cookies look so delicious!
Oh, these photos are so beautiful. They take me back to my trip to Madrid two years ago, when I fell in love with the Parque del Retiro. But I never saw a bakery with such delicious looking cookies - if I ever have the chance to go back, I'm definitely tracking down that shop and sampling! Thanks for taking us on a tour : )
