Signs

After some time off we took another self-guided walking tour, this one along Carrer de Petritxol, know for its art, chocolate, and tiles.

The Tale of Mr. Stephen, manners in the 19th century and more.
Read more here(it will need to be translated).

The street is filled with tiles telling about the people who lived and worked there.

Literal translation, "Vehicles, moderate walking and short stops."

Respect and spread virtue in the street.

These two were closer to the cathedral.

And these were in the old Jewish Quarter.

If you come visit we'll take you here!

News to me

Do you know who this famous Spaniard is?
He is pictured here giving a talk in Miami, Florida.

Here he is with his family.

Tennis player?  Futbol? Actor? Musician?

He is the king, Felipe VI of Spain.

Did you know there was a king?  Today is his birthday and it is not a holiday, even in Madrid.  Time to do a little more research and learn more about someone who is not on the cover of every tabloid.
