Primo weekend! É anche d'obbligo a passeggiata is non è il tempo dei migliori. Esco alle 11 e senza meta vague nei dintorni .. house of a hundred meters from Calle de las Huertas, where we live, there is the Museo del Prado: free admission on 18 de Mayo .. Done! Walk along the Paseo del Prado and read a statement Parque del Buen Retiro so I decide to take a look at what, on map Moleskine is the real green lung of Madrid. The entrance from Calle Felipe IV is spectacular: a royal park, very clean and chock full of trees (properly pruned a couple straight out of "Alice in Wonderland") ponds, street musicians and other unusual sights.
Among these, the most unexpected are the banquets of fortune-tellers and improvised puppet show to entertain the kids! The lake Estanque is invaded by rowing boats hired from romantic couples, families and quaint and nostalgic old men of Madrid.
have lunch and we leave the park wandering around Calle de Atocha. Are 16.45 and the typical English siesta takes its toll: the shutters are all down, shops closed and no one on the streets, apart from a nice showing in his 70's Marco, a new trolley, abandoned beside the garbage intact. Marco Valutatone state appropriates it and find that the abandonment was due to his total failure as a trolley: the handle is locked! We get lost in the desolate streets with suitcase below to find your way home then. Satisfaction of the day.
