Madrid at night |
| Madrid is alive with people at night - people going out to eat, dancing, to the movies - or just walking with family or friends. |

|
| We passed a big crowd waiting to see the movie Gente con Clase with Julie Andrews (Relative Values - see IMDb.com). It wasn't just a movie - it was an event! There were live actors posing a scene from the movie in front of the theatre. |
| We also passed a mime with two dogs. I snapped this photo and dropped some pesetas in his hat. |
| Madrid has lots of restaurants. Try delicious Spanish tapas or paella - or get a taste of home at McDonalds or the Hard Rock Cafe. |
