La cajita de la bici en frente lleva libros de segunda mano 😁. Su colleción está destacada por los textos narrativos y el tema espiritual, pero claro que lleva un montón de otras cosas. 𝐇𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐝𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐥í 𝐚𝐥𝐠𝐮𝐧𝐚 𝐯𝐞𝐳? 𝐂ó𝐦𝐨 𝐟𝐮𝐞 𝐥𝐚 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚? **** 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞 on Calle Espíritu Santo in Malasaña 😍!

Su fachada bonita de azulejos antiguos está protegida por el ayuntamiento de Madrid, y totalmente lo merece, no? 𝑬𝒔 𝒖𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒒𝒖𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒆 𝒖𝒏𝒂 𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒂 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒅𝒆 siglo XX como una de las hueverías más conocidas del barrio, per ahora se ha convertido en un restaurante. La última vez que comprobé, estaba cerrado- espero que sea temporalmente. 𝐇𝐚𝐛é𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐨 𝐩𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨? **** 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒍𝒍, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 '𝑨𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒈𝒖𝒂 𝑯𝒖𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓í𝒂' (old egg- store- how cute!), located on Calle de San Vicente Ferrer in the heart of Malasaña. Dating back to the 20th century, its beautiful tiled facade is officially protected by the Madrid City Council. 𝑰𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒂 𝒇𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒅 𝒆𝒈𝒈- 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒆 back in the day; one with the biggest eggs in the neighbourhood, in fact. It now functions as a restaurant, although the last time I checked, it was closed :( 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐠𝐠- 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞? 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞?

Se queda aún más bonito 😍 𝑺𝒂𝒏 𝑰𝒔𝒊𝒅𝒓𝒐 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝒏𝒆𝒙𝒕 𝒕𝒐 my neighbourhood is even more beautiful with snow ❄️⛄...look how pretty the lake looks being frozen! 😍 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂 𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒄 𝒎𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒏! The last time it snowed in the city was in 2009, and the last time there was heavy snowfall was in 1970! Gracias Madrid 😘 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫?

Podía ver la gente disfrutando con sus snowboards.🏂🏽 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 🤩😁. It was the first day after the snowstorm Filomena had passed over us, leaving behind beautifully powdered fresh snow 🌨️ & clear conditions ☀️. One could even see some people trying to snowboard 🏂🏽. 𝐈𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞? 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 😂?
