Madrid - Christmastime.........warm and sunny!







An absolutely stunning day here - 60 and sunny. Everyone was out. People were eating at all the outside cafes. Crowds everywhere I roamed. The pics above are at El Corte Ingles in Plaza Sol. It is a large shopping area. El Corte Ingles is a large higher end department store chain here. They put up a huge Christmas display, above, on the side of one of their buildings. Below it were crowds of people and lots of characters all dressed up entertaining the children. All the components on the large wall, shot it 2 parts, move. Quite impressive. To give you a sense of size, the characters are all full size people. is starts about 15/20 feet up the side of the building and goes up double that and runs the length of the building.
