On this cold, windy day that was threatening rain, we took a bus tour around Madrid. La Puerta de Alcalá designed in 1764 for Charles the 3rd. It used to mark the eastern wall of the city ofMadrid

Los colores del edificio son dramáticos contra el cielo oscuro. Además, el reloj es correcto. Este edificio está en la Gran Vía. The colors of this building make a dramatic contrast with the dark sky. This building is on the Gran Via.

The home of Mutua Madrileña, a non-profit insurance company.

There are many Art Deco-period buildings along the Gran Via.

Estatua de Diana la Cazadora en un edificio en la Gran Vía. This statue of Diana the Huntress is one of many statues found on buildings on the Gran Via.

Some of the statues are more elaborate than others.

I know we are going to get wet.

Parts of the sky looked like an immenent storm, other parts looked like nice weather. Don't get your hopes up for good weather.

We returned to Mercado San Miguel. Always crowded, always full of good things to eat and drink.

Mercado San Miguel estaba muy lleno. We had pizza and paella.

We went to the famous tablao Villa Rosa for an espectaculo and bebidas.

There are many tile murals in Villa Rosa.

This old, faded painting was in a back corner of the tablao. You can see that it was painted directly on the wall.

Another old painting.

Getting ready for the show.

The guitarist, David Duran, almost seems to be part of the scene.

All of the performers were talented and enthusiastic. Together, they put on a great show. L to R Juan del Puerto, Ana Polanco, Ismael de la Rosa
