Sunset on the Madrid Río

They've done such a nice job of renovating the river bed. I've even recovered from the disappointment of going to see fireworks here a few months back and after 4 hours of waiting realising that I'd misread the programme and that fuegos sobre el río did not actually translate to fuegos artificiales. Ah wishful translation.

Around Europe in 80 minutes

Parque de Europa in Torrejon de Ardoz is absolutely hilarious. Like Disney World but, I dunno, less music and more European monuments...

Visit. It even has a zip line swing. 3,50 a go. Bargain.

Portaloos at the book fair

Lectores / Lectoras (bad quality pic, sorry)
Cute :)

Shake your tail feather

Things you see in Madrid parks... Drug dealers, runners, rollerbladers, couples doing unspeakable things in the grass,and.... peacocks?

Free bike rental in Juan Carlos

A very cool park full of sculptures and, unfortuntely for those on bikes, hills.

Free rental for an hour from either of the rental areas on production of passport or similar. 
Metro: Campo de las Naciones and some walking / Alameda de la Osuna and some walking

Metro graffiti

Tunnel from Retiro metro to park

Skins graffiti seems slightly out of place here :)

Rollerblading at dusk

Hmm looks like I'm heading 'into the light' though...

Sunsets and rollercoasters

The best way to spend any sunny Sunday is at the Parque de Atracciones. Best arrived at via the Teleférico - cable car - for panoramic views of Madrid and (supposedly) sights of prostitutes working (though am starting think this might be an urban myth)
