Here is the second part of the batch of photos, for the city that I fell in love since a few years ago, I went for the first time. The Empire's capital, Madrid.
La Plaza Mayor, one of my favorite places in the capital.
Here is the statue of my colleague Philip II. A great king, whose memory has been clouded by the slightest detail in his later years he lost a little key. As I said in college, Charles took the title, but it was his son who ruled the Empire.
The facades of the Plaza Mayor, hey, worth seeing.
What I like about Madrid is that every tiny corner tells you a story and / or is a work of art. And art history and that to me are cool, so-called Madrid de los Austrias. I'm walking through this area as Florentino playing Fifa Manager.
And we, oh yes, at the Almudena.
LOVE this Cathedral.
Statue of Pope John Paul II in front of the doors of the Cathedral of the Almudena, since he was in charge of consecrate.
Behind him we can see St. James: D
Y ya dentro de la Almudena, lugar en el que por cierto jamás había estado, me sorprendió -más bien me dejó anonadada y en el sitio- la profusión y belleza de sus increíbles vidrieras.
Aquí tenéis a la Virgen de la Almudena en sí:
Cosas que puede que no supieras sobre la Catedral de Madrid (y las catedrales españolas en general). Aquí en estos lares los equipos de fútbol tienen una costumbre que a los extranjeros puede sorprender, que viene a ser la de ofrecer a la virgen correspondiente los trofeos que se win. Real Madrid made their offerings (if they exist-_-) to the Virgen de la Almudena (and I have Atleti not very clear ... in fact they probably have not either, so long as no ...) .
Walking around the church I was a BEAUTIFUL Jesus of Nazareth.
As you probably know you may have the misfortune, I love the images of saints and dedicate myself to photograph them at Easter. I can say that I have rarely seen so beautiful a Nazarene.
succeeded chapels were dedicated to various saints, but above all a constant: WINDOWS.
is probably freaking out over it, but never had seen so beautiful *___*
Um, okay, I center.
Here some parishioners with whom I stopped to talk ... were pestles, although a bit imperialistic and arrogant.
Well, another thing that struck me was the doors of the Cathedral. In other words, are a compendium of the history of Madrid, its surroundings, architecture ... todito all around.
the world famous statue of San Pedro.
And the main facade.
El Palacio Real (some may remember a rainy Saturday curious that marred some wedding ... I remember because I was the last test run first xDDD).
Royalty and the Church face to face, separated by a small square. Typical.
Another thing I love is the Plaza de Oriente with its row of statues of medieval kings.
Ataúlfo Greet, primus inter pares of the Visigoths: D
If memory serves me, this is Ordoño I, one of the first Kings of Leon (Asturias), a descendant of the great Pelayo, who is who is at the bottom.
Cuchi, a Felipe IV.
And of course all this could not lead to anything more than ...
Welcome to the Retreat.
And the lake:
In the Monumento a Alfonso XII, soldiers of the past seem to watch us as we move towards the back of the sovereign.
Alfonso XII, King of the Restoration.
sosez
overall I feel the post, but do not think you can say much more about it.
Bonus track:
Here
pringaíllos alternates, including Barn (someday I will tell the story of Val's sister and I were hysterical because we saw him go out and we thought we fixed that tito had long between lunch and tea when he came out LAST costumes, dressing almost half xDDDD).
Sergio Canales.
Pedro León.
Typical image of Xabi Alonso.
Gonzalo Higuain.
More Channels.
Mescomosellame Fossil.
Bully warming,
Iker surrounded by idiots.
Esteban Granero heating (and yes, we were hysterical screaming: D).
Ahem.
Barn in his new aggressive mode.
Barn: as a little ahead of me that ball I give you a cookie. Marcelo
: see us on the chart AGAIN.
Care
that what comes is GORGEOUS ...

Champions oé.
take this opportunity to thank my fellow tour, both Granada and Madrid, for putting up when I get annoying photographer in plan-oh-wait-a-second-you-going-to- make-seven-photos-to-the-corner, not to mention putting up with backpacks, and other goals while I throw on the floor, camera in hand. Without them, none of this would have been possible.
