Even before the official lockdown in Spain, places like Plaza de Santa Ana, in Madrid's theater / arts and letters district, were nearly empty.
In Plaza de Santa Ana you would normally see crowds and would not be able to find a place to sit.
Our Airbnb was very comfortable and perfectly located for us.
I simply liked the front of this building, Note how plain it is at street level and how elaborate it is at the top.
Note the frieze and the statue. I think there may be a screen on the frieze.
This "sculpture" (mobile?) in the garden of Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía moves.
We liked this reflecting exhibit in the garden.
The reflections were somewhat distorted.
Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía houses a collection of 20th century art.
Ground-floor (piso bajo) view of sculpture in front of Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía
The museum is several stories high, as you can see from this view of the sculpture
It surprised me to learn this was a Picasso; El hombre con cordero, 1943.
André Masson, La bruja (the witch, 1943). In this section of the museum art from WWII was on exhibit. Not all the artists were Spanish.
Carlos Saenz de Tejada, Milicianos anta Morella, Castellón) (Militiamen against Morella, Castellón) 1936. (I assume the Spanish Civil War)
Manuel Rivera, Composition IV, 1956. Art made of wire "cloth" (tela metálica)
Iglesia San Martin de Tours; a nice little church we spotted on the walk to Teatro Flamenco.
A pretty good size space at Teatro Flamenco. I was worried that there might be very few people for the performance.
The picture look funny in part because the projected image partially covers the performers.
Again, it is difficult to capture motion.
The performers we saw. We had a good conversation with the manager. He knew about teh Festival Flamenco de Albuquerque here in New Mexico.
