El Retiro

In Madrid. It doesn't really count and we're going north by train, but it's the start of the journey, so an excuse to post a couple of photos.
The Retiro is a park on the centre of Madrid, where people go to do- well, just about everything you can imagine, and a lot you can't until you see it. So, skaters doing slalom and bowls played by men with half a ball.
As I have probably said before, the Retiro is Madrid at play.
