So we arrived in Madrid, and after finding our lodgings inmediately hit the streets...

Crowded streets... Funky signs... Impressive buildings... La Puerta de Alcalá!!!! Mírala, mírala, mírala...Fuente de las Cibeles...Don Miguel! Cuban restaurant!!!!!!!! Puelco asado, puerco frito, congrí, ensalada, maduro frito, tostones (patacones), potaje, arró.... Sólo nos faltó yuca con mojo y cerveza Hatuey...Happiness... Almost licked the dishes... Nostalgia, de escuchar tu risa loca y sentir junto a mi boca como fuego tu respiración... Es un tango, pero pega...Plaza Mayor... Fat bastardo and Gábor fucked faces...More funky signs...Andalusian bar...The ideal business...Beiko-chan in front of our hostel... UNO time...
Toledo! Here Muslim, Christians and even Jews used to live in peace and harmony, during the Arab occupation of Iberia...Morito loco...Todo por la Patria, coño!Toledo love... They seem to like the old Facist iconography here... Maybe they miss Franco times...Even a plate to San José Antonio!!! (José Antonio Primo de Rivera, father of the Spanish Phalanx)...Souvenirs for (rich) tourists...Don Miguel, rediez!Heaven...Toledo cathedral... Another fetishist desire became real: to juggle in front of a medieval cathedral...Craftsman embroiding Toledo gold thread... Sadly this tradition is dissapearing, most people do it by electrolisis rather than by hand, skill and patience...Ancient torture instruments!Intolerance...Iron Maiden...San Benito...Gulp!Chastity belt... Saw...I felt like Dr. Lecter...Paella and deer...Yet another massive church...Ancuient bridge...Adiós Toledo!!! I daresay I have walked ALL historical Toledo...
Back in Madrid, Paolita, aka Posli Jr.By the way, in Gran Vía, if you are not sitting at a terraza or walking, the hundreds of prostitutes that work there think you want some chocolat, and make you indecent proposals...

Later met Lourdes (Bea's cousin, and her bf Pedro, a real Madrid booy)..They took us to El Madroño, for magnificent tapas...Licor de madroño, served in chocolat shot glasses...Amaterasu also smiles in Madriz!I also hate fucking shopping malls... Mercados rules... Madric luv...La Chueca signs...Tom & Jerry cheese...Premonition of La Noche en Blanco...Don Quijote and 3 Sanchos...Palacio Real...Hungry horse...Palacio Real!!!Satanicum...No pictures allowed inside...Isabel la Católica...WTF??????Funny named bar...Life threatening lunch: cocido madrileño...Ye Old Library... unluckily closed...
Erena-chan!!!Again I was molested by hookers while waiting for her... Do I look like I need to pay for chocolat?

Underpath...Ere-tan to Gaboro...Sphinx...La Puerta de Alcalá revisited...El Retiro park...Evil and good...Fallen me...Cristal structure...Griffo...Church...Long queue to enter El Prado museum...Tapas and beer time...Yes, Duff exists!!!!To Rafa...La Noche en Blanco (the White Night)...Lion balls, by Bea...Good'bye to Erena-chan...Brunch...Goya...After spending the whole day in Thyssen and El Prado museums, lament for my broken camera or The Martyrdom of Saint Angelo...Soy cagaíto a mi padre, carajo...Pedro took us to the airport...And again we surviced another Spanair flight...
