We are staying at Isabelle’s house, situated on the “Calle Amor de Dios” which can be translated as “Love of God Street” or “For God’s Sake Street”. The street is at the “Barrio de las Letras” (The Neighbourhood of Letters) because many Spanish writers have lived around the area. Isabelle, lives just above the Guitarreria, a well known shop that sells and repairs Spanish guitars. The street also has a vegetarian macro-biotic restaurant and a popular “tienda de disfraces” were they sell all kinds of costumes and wigs.
In the evening, we went around Madrid with Isabelle, she explained to us the character of Madrid and the differences between Madrid, Barcelona and Paris. We were surprised to see so many people having supper, drinking wine and chatting in the streets. The Plaza Mayor seemed to be celebrating a big fiesta. We noticed that the colours of Madrid are quite different at night due to the street illumination. Madrid is definitely not turquoise.
