Cafe bar in Chueca - Madrid

After a longer trip than expected, we finally arrived in Madrid, the second capital of our journey.
At 3 pm most shops are closed. Everyone seems to be at home having lunch or having a siesta. Ironically, when the Sun is at its highest peak and the colours of Madrid are brighter and stronger, everyone is at home or asleep.
We went to a cafe near Chueca square where an old waitress felt uncomfortable serving us because we were wearing electric equipment. She told us that we couldn't use electric devices while we drank there because "electricity and liquids are not compatible". We told her that Moon's teleidoscope glasses were not electrical and that Neil was a cyborg. We explained to her how the eyeborg worked and we let her listen to the colours of her bar. She listened and started to sing along to the sounds of the colours of the walls, tables, and menus.
