When you don't speak the language it is sometimes hard to know what is happening in a foreign city. While strolling around I noticed a number of large white screens being set up and I thought they must be having a movie night. After eating dinner I walked out of the restaurant into La Noche en Blanco. The whole center of Madrid was closed to traffic and thousands of people wandered the streets being entertained by films and free admission to certain buildings, all in the name of sustainability for the earth. It was quite a party and went on until 4am so I did not get much sleep.
The next day I noticed a bike race in progress and watched a few riders go by, but not until I turned on the TV at my hotel did I realise it was the Tour d'Espagne!
I agree, lots of interesting food!! A great idea, maybe that could be your next blog....
