… in Madrid.
I noticed already our first evening i Madrid that some streets had the most beautiful ceramic street signs – so I decided to take a photo of every street and square that we walked … and here they are, in total 34 (If I haven’t counted wrong). Some streets we walked didn’t have this kind of signs.
We used the metro once … going to to the Sunday market (El Rastro), so easy to use and the ticket machines are very user-friendly.
Strangely didn’t my feet resist much and Oscar also loved Madrid!
… and we have decided to go back and walk some more … very soon.

oh wow a piece of art for every calle there! ☺️
Andy, yes …. Madrid is one of the most beautiful cities I visit. Plus it’s friendly, helpful, proud and elegant.
Gotta love that 🙂
Ohh these are so pretty! I love these cute little features of a city. Will definitely have to visit Madrid sometime 🙂
Yes, they are really pretty … had to get a straight angle on them … I just fell in love with them. Madrid is a city that I think everyone loves. The buildings are stunning, new and old. Food great and service excellent everywhere. I really hope that you will get the chance to meet Madrid.
Yes, it does sounds lovely, really glad to had read your post! 🙂
So am I! *smile
I loved those colourful tiles when I visited Madrid! Really glad to hear your feet aren’t too unhappy on this trip…and just received a couple of great postcards, thank you!
No both me, feet and … the other parts had a fantastic time in Madrid. Glad you have received them. Still need your new address. Visited the Crystal Palace .. beautiful .. they had some kind of expo inside, free!
Glad you liked the Crystal Palace! I shall Skype you over the weekend….
Reblogged this on Truth Troubles: Why people hate the truths' of the real world.
Thank you!
Great signs. Now I get to envy Madrid, as I do NYC for its subways!
Meg, I thought they are too beautiful to ignore … I like the idea about NYC substation.
Susan at https://findingnyc.com has a great series on the art of NY subways.
Great blog … thanks for the link. I did one about the 9/11 memorial in 2013 and it’s a bit similar to Susan’s. Her posts about the metro art too.
