  • (𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡) 𝑼𝒏 𝒆𝒋𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒐 𝒅𝒆𝒍 𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒐 Neo Mudéjar en Calle de Toledo. Este edificio siempre llama mi atención por su aspecto tan distinto. 𝑬𝒏 𝑴𝒂𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒚 montón de estructuras en este estilo. 𝐎𝐬 𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫í𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐠𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐬 𝐝𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐨 𝐌𝐮𝐝é𝐣𝐚𝐫? **** 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐚𝐫𝐞 these balconies?! Such a different design! It's in a style called Neo Mudéjar, which marks the resurgence of the Mudéjar architecture in the 19th century. 𝑴𝒖𝒅é𝒋𝒂𝒓 𝒔𝒕𝒚𝒍𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒅 under Spain's first Catholic rulers who employed Muslim artisans to construct their buildings. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒚𝒍𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒏 to have a homogenous mix of Islamic and European influences. Madrid is dotted with beautiful examples of the Neo Mudéjar style. 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐈 𝐝𝐨 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐭? 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰! ⬇️

This time in the elegant neoclassical style, with its equally elegant nude colour palette. I sometimes wonder what it's like to be on the other side 🤔😁 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Calle de Toledo next to La Latina metro station
  • (𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡) 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐝 (𝟏/𝟑) 𝑷𝒐𝒓 𝒇𝒊𝒏, 𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒔 𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒅𝒐 al final de la época de chocolate con churros. Por fin, ha llegado el tiempo de abrir los balcones para ventilar nuestros hogares con la brisa fresca de primavera y nuestros mentes con ideas igualmente frescas. 𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐳 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐱𝐬! **** 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐝'𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 (𝟏/𝟑) 𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒍, 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝑰𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒎 𝒅𝒆𝒕𝒐𝒙 has been lovely as I have actually been outside enjoying some sunshine and 20 degree weather! Can't believe the churro season is officially coming to an end! 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒏 𝒖𝒑 those balconies, let the spring air in and lounge in the sunshine reading a book! 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞!

  • (𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡) 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚 𝐞𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐝 (𝟒/𝟔) 𝑪𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆 𝒅𝒆 𝑶𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒂, muy cerca de metro Alonso Martínez en Madrid siempre me da una sensación de estar en París. 𝑸𝒖𝒊𝒛á 𝒑𝒐𝒓 𝒍𝒐𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒑𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒅𝒐𝒔, o los balcones adornados, o quizá por su ambiente exclusivo debido a estar en una zona bastante pija. 𝑬𝒔𝒆 𝒅í𝒂 𝒏𝒐 𝒇𝒖𝒆 un día soleado típico de la primavera pero bueno, todavía los árboles con sus flores se parecieron muy elegantes. 𝒀 𝒄𝒖𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒚 𝒔𝒐𝒍, me puedo imaginar como brilla esta calle y se queda aún más bonita! 🌺🌞 * * * * 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐝 (𝟒/𝟔) 𝑪𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆 𝒅𝒆 𝑶𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒂, near metro station Alonso Martínez always gives me a Parisian vibe. 𝑴𝒂𝒚𝒃𝒆 𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔, maybe it's the ornate doors and balconies, maybe it's that exclusive vibe that this street gives for being in a posh locality. The sombre weather certainly heightened that feeling and I mentally felt transported to Paris 😂 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒆𝒊𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒂𝒚, 𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒐𝒏𝒆 of the best streets to observe spring in Madrid, whilst being surrounded by cityscape. Normally there is outdoor seating and the pedestrian section turns it into a very cozy corner despite the city's usual clamour. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤?
