So many beautiful photos, Nina. What a great walk you have given us. Your good eye as a traveller makes you notice those details like the Gospel sign and point out the contrast. I would have liked that alcoholic dessert drink very much. For running away from the crowds as you did, you managed to capture the essence of Madrid, crowded, cosmopolitan and noisy.
Who would be the celebrity? I'm curious. I would have looked into it even though I hate crowds. 😄😅
