Christmas is a coming!!

Tree in Sol. Design by Agatha Ruiz de La Prada. Awesome.

Cortylandia (the back of Corte Inglés off Sol).

It's the Spanish Brown Thomas Christmas windows (circa my youth when they were awesome), the British Harrods windows (Peter Pan this year, saw them a few weeks ago - v good) etc etc etc...

This year the animated figuirines seem to want to teach everyone about acceptance of dodgy accents.... Fortunately there wasn't an Irish figuirine :) 

El Tigre

Saturday afternon shopping followed by cramming into El Tigre for drinks and tapas = perfection.
Drinks are super cheap and the food is free and in generous helpings.
Love it (especially just before pay day when poverty strikes)

Tuneage

Arcade Fire at Palacio de los Deportes. A. Ma. Zing.

Interpol - the weekend before - not so great. Good effort on Paul Wards part to practice his Spanish though.

I keep my reviews brief and to the point ;)

Cheap and delicious Chinese food opposite the entrance to an underground car park?

Not the most auspicious of opening gambits but I highly recommend it. Two of us at our fill for under 10e. Yum. The restaurant (Jia Xiang Xiao Chi) can be accessed via Plaza Espana. Expect to wait for a table...

I spy with my little eye something beginning with B...

Feather boas and mannequins

Karaoke Spanish style

I love the misspellings :)
