Here is a photo dump of the past couple weeks of what I have seen day to day exploring and traveling around Madrid for work 🙂
These pictures are from small towns called Villaconejos, Titulcia, Navalcarnero, and Caraba̱a Рplaces I went with my coworker to attend and assist people who needed help with finding resources and could not make it down to Madrid themselves. From what I have noticed, many of these towns are incredibly small and only have locals or immigrants (mostly Latin American and Morrocan) living there. Nontheless, the towns are filled with life and have their own, respective charm to them!
And here are some photos of what my work has looked like:
These are from Casa de Américas where the Bolivian presentation took place to announce the official date of the celebration on Gran VÃa on August 16th! The building was incredibly beautiful and is a consortium for strengthening bonds with Spain and America (particularly with Latin America):
Here are some photos of what I have seen outside of work including places I have been for the first time/some that have changed since I have been here!:
Candelada – a beautiful town with natural mountain pools!
El Rastro – a part of Madrid that becomes a bustling flea market on Sundays! Here, there are a diverse range of goods and specialty shops where historic sites line the area as well as typical bars. One of those historic areas also being La Latina where August celebrations occur as people are on break.
And... some more photos of different parts of the city!:
Watching the sunset at a park called “El Parque de las Siete Tetas”, walking towards a park called “Campo Grande” and crossing a beautiful bridge on the way, seeing ducks and an immense book fair in Retiro, as well as simply passing by the streets of Madrid.
