eavesdropping in the Latin quarter
The man in this photograph was giving the lady a personal guided tour of the Latin Quarter of Madrid. In English.
I followed them, at a distance, for a couple of miles hearing all sorts of lovely little details. They nearly discovered me once when they walked down a dead-end alley and turned round to come back out. Luckily I was still in Hitchcock sleuth mode and managed to scarper without being spotted or falling over any parked Mopeds.
According to the guide this is the oldest door in Madrid at 500yrs old. Madrid is a fairly young city by European standards.

The streets look so clean.
