The crowds forming for Semana Santa which was canceled due to rain.
These guys were a mix of Jazz and what seemed like Dixie. They were stationed outside of Starbuck's. Of course we are only buying local and pass on the coffee.
Madrid has great graffiti art on a lot of the roll up shop doors. This one is a take off on the young girl in Las Meninas by Diego Velazquez.
This one is a copy of The Kiss by Gustav Klimt.
A collection of Spanish fans.
Mike, I found a souvenir a just had to have. I will be looking for the local FedEx today. Find a place for it before I get home...OK?
We must start our last day in Madrid now. We have a lot more to see and do before tomorrow when we take the high speed train to Sevilla to meet up with Kathy and Bob.
I will post more tonight.
I'm having a wonderful adventure!
Hasta Luego!
