When Madrid got up in the past tuesday, they found that there was no underground service. No train was passing through the third most extensive underground in the world. Two million of people were forced to use the bus and the taxi because the workers went on strike.
Luckily the workers decided to stop the strike on saturday and give a rest to Madrid. However, madrileños couldn’t breathe a sigh of relief because it was the day of the Gay Pride (practically the official fiesta of Madrid). More than one million of people went to the Parade, and hundreds of people went to the Bernabéu to watch Spain win Paraguay in a football match. The authorities had to cut traffic in all the center of Madrid all night until morning.
Madrid was recently ranked 10th World Most Livable Cities. Fortunately it doesn’t mean that Madrid has to be a boring city. I wonder how will be next week, it would be a surprise if nothing happens!
