Madrid is an exciting place to be.  At night people flood the streets, while musicians and human statues entertain at any time of day.

Here are some of my favourites!

Gypsy Couple burst into song
This gypsy couple were already singing and playing and when I dropped in a coin they burst into the most wonderful performance. My heart skipped a beat.

The Mariachi - they were so loud and awesome and their costumes so intricate!

    OH When can I sneak on over to Madrid?? It looks so magical – LOVE those street statues. That had one in Melbourne last year – who was dressed as Santa. He would stay so still and every now and then he would move – scared the kids walking by and it was so funny 😉

    Love the look of those street entertainers – the musical ones would be fantastic…the three heads – freaky!!
