Madrid

 

 

Madrid is a place where you want to look up for fancy roof decorations, e.g. the top picture and the chariot on the roof in the distance.

 

The expansive Madrid Metro system, a convenient and excellent way to get around the city

 

The Madrid town square and the famously painted city hall
At the time a collectors' exhibit was just setting up - Club de Coleccionista was the organizer

 

Museo Nacional Del Prado

 

Here, as elswhere in famous museums, skilled commissioned artists copy masters

 

Portrait of a Cardinal by Raphael, about 1510 AD

 

The Prado, one of Madrid's main attactions, is always popular

 

 

Lunch hour in Madrid. A lot of well-dressed older folks, eating sandwhiches and drinking beer or hard liquor
A meat lovers' paradise

 

Lovely old downtown neighborhood

 

 

Equally cool, and quite safe to wander around at nights. back in 2001
