I haven’t done any formal sightseeing here in Madrid, but just walking around is pretty great. Here’s some pictures.

Most of the buildings here open right onto the street, and have courtyards. The buildings themselves are often ornate. But a few places decorate even more.

10:30 at night, just as busy as mid afternoon.

Still haven’t mastered the selfie.

That’s where my conference is.

A time-honored and near-universal public works strategy… orange cones and police tape.
