August in Madrid

August in Madrid is….
having time to be a tourist
rowing boats in Retiro
new views of familiar places
sneaking into the photo albums of a million strangers
street festival sights and sounds
café on the terraza
looking for a new piso (Plaza Mayor, anyone?)
Re: August in Madrid:
to-see lists with checkmarks
no AC
no rain
no lines at the bank
picnics at the park
afternoons that stretch into the 100°s
nights with tinto de verano, claras, and cañas
signs hung with: estamos de vacaciones hasta Septiembre
August in Madrid means I tried to go eat at Pez Gordo and it was closed.
Next time.
Que mala suerte! When I popped by on the 17th it was open.
The good side? You have yet another reason to revisit Madrid!
I’m kind of glad not to experience August in Madrid, to be honest! Too hot, but it seems relaxing! I hope you got a chance to do so.
