Ad in the inflight magazine on Vueling Airlines flight Madrid - Barcelona. I knew then that Barcelona was going to be something else.

Madrid, Por Favor

The next few posts are about my Madrid.



This is MADRID, POR FAVOR

Sudden bursts of enchanting music in the subway

Chorizo and Dali, Anchovies and Picasso

Breakfast of Champions

Jamon Jamon everywhere

Constructivist Funk

Sun one Day, Snow the next

Music Metro Madrileno

A sudden burst of music in a subway train in Madrid. These two guys just got up, played this enchanting tune, and left. Just like that. I didn't even have time to drop a few cents in their hat.

Art Madrid: Reina Sofia

Big regret: I couldn't make it either to The Prado or to Thyssen-Bornamisza. Why ? Don't ask.

But I did go to Reina-Sofia

It was a cold, rainy, snowy day. I fortified myself with a Chorizo Bocadillo - God I can feel the taste of that spicy salty chorizo even now - and a Cerveza, at this tiny bar just outside the museum.

I peered out of the bar window, looked at the rain, pulled up my hood and went out in search of great art


Fellow art-lovers were queing up in the snow to get in

It had snowed for a few hours, and the museum garden itself was a piece of art


Francis Picabia

Miro

Picasso

Dali

Ballerina

The food at the museum restaurant was no less artistic

Anchovies with Idiazabal Cheese Foam, served on Pan Con Tomate

Risotto


Inspired by all this, I took what I think is a great shot of black steel pipes nestling in the snow.
I named this photo " Dali Pipes"

Then I went back to the bar for another Bocadillo
