  • originally these two buildings were planned to be joined together above the road. But the money had been embezzled....... before the buildings were finished so they simply couldn`t finish them.... and that building would have been called Puerta de Europa....

  • This temple was a present from egyptian gouverment for Spanien (1960)
    You can see this temple in Parque del Oeste. I was not inside, before it is open to 18, and I was there afternoon.
    In this park there is too a terrace and you can enjoy excellent view of Madrid`s panorama. This is very nice to make a walk there and look for great palmtrees or oleanders.

  • The street behind Retiro Park. I don`t know what for a building it is, but the architecture is great. Before this must be a mosque, it looks so and now may be a church?

     Brings back memories. I spent some time in Madrid in the 1960s, but haven't been back since then.
