Before entering Spain, SC Johnson knew little about the country at the western end of the Mediterranean, which was neither as historic as Greece nor as fashion-leading as France.

If you choose to travel to a country in Europe, there are even more than a dozen people here, and the most impressive thing is the bright red bullfighting cloth.

Live in the heart of Madrid's busiest street, the Gran Avenue, and stand on the huge observation deck of the Presidential Suite overlooking the city. The red-tiled houses with the spires set off the blue sky and white clouds are very spectacular, and they are full of enthusiasm and unrestrainedness.

It's the weekend, and there aren't many pedestrians on the streets in the early morning, and the small commercial street at your feet connects the Grand Avenue to the Puerta del Sol. Don't look at the silence now, I heard that in the afternoon, the streets are full of practice stalls.

Huge cotton cloths were spread on the ground, small bags of jewelry and various cheap souvenirs were placed, and they shouted loudly. Seeing that the chengguan was coming, the four corners were tied to a knot, and they ran away, it turned out that all over the world was a virtue!

The city management is mighty!

Puerta del Sol Square is the very center of the city, and its identity is comparable to ** and People's Square. The square in front of you is not very large, but there are ten streets of all sizes radiating outward from the center of the square, and it is a bit like the Place de Gaulle in Paris.

Every Chinese New Year's Eve, it is absolutely crowded with people listening to the bells to welcome the New Year. Locals also have a custom that has been around since the 19th century: when the bell rings in the bell tower to welcome the new, people quickly swallow the 12 grapes they have prepared in their hands, wishing for good luck and good luck for the 12 months of the following year.

In the northeast corner, there is a famous statue of a bear and a strawberry tree, a bear pouting and licking a tree, not as tall and inconspicuous as expected. However, it is the symbol of the city, and it can be seen in various prints.

Once upon a time, a little boy went out with his mother. The child ran away mischievously and ran into a brown bear. The child climbed a strawberry tree in desperation, while the brown bear picked up the tree and looked for the boy.

Instead of calling for help, the little boy was worried about her well-being, so he shouted from the tree, "Mommy, run!"

So there is Madrid, which originally means mom run, filial son.

Alice led the group down a side alley, where there was an internet celebrity snack bar called Chacoteria San Gines, which specialized in hot chocolate and refueled snacks.

There is no one on the street, there is already a long queue in front of the store, all of them are tourists who come to visit, and now the network is developed, and the wine is not afraid of deep alleys.

Golden and fragrant, hot fritters just out of the pot, dipped in thick and sweet hot chocolate, taste sweet and salty in the mouth, crunchy and delicious, the taste is actually not bad?

Across the street there is a chic large bungalow with slender and beautiful architectural decorations, full of baroque style, and the famous San Miguel market, also a legendary snack street. With a history of more than 100 years, there is everything in it, and whenever there is lunch or dinner, it is overcrowded and difficult to find.

Tapas in various formats, equivalent to domestic cold dishes, are wonderful and mouth-watering. Common ones are olives, potatoes, peppers, and cheese. If a bar is in a slump here, people tend to say that their tapas are not good.

I am accustomed to seeing all kinds of huge squares in China, walking on the streets of Europe, but in fact, it is just a public place, and it may not be very wide. There is a place called the square, and if it has a name, it can attract small merchants and vendors to set up stalls, and various folk artists come to perform, so it attracts passers-by from near and far, and gradually becomes famous.

A few hundred meters south of the alley next to the Municipal Square, Spain's Pai Jiayuan is crowded on weekends, with a radius of several blocks, half of which is filled with all kinds of everyday items and antiques that are difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

The remaining half of the streets were crowded with tourists, and SC Johnson didn't see a few real deals for a long time. A lot of them are rags that no one picks up after throwing them away, and even tourists can't fool them.

From the flea market, head north past the famous Almudena Cathedral and the Royal Palace of Madrid to the Plaza de Oriente. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, when the power of the great Napoleon was at its peak, and most of Europe was overshadowed by the invincible French army, he became the protector of Italy, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, and began to collect protection money in this area.

The Plaza de Oriente is a product of the small traders who preferred to die, and during the short period of five years of foreign rule, riots broke out again and again, until the French were driven out of Spain.

Spacious boulevards, delicate floral shapes, and rows of tall statues are distinctly French-style. Although the original square was only used to isolate the royal palace from the people to protect their own safety, after all, the artistic realm of Paris is higher than that of Madrid, so it is known as the most beautiful square.

Standing in front of the equestrian statue of Philip IV, the first bronze statue in history to be supported only by the hind hooves of a horse, is absolutely difficult. Painted by the great painter Velázquez, Galileo solved the balance problem from the point of view of physics, and built by the famous Italian architect Pietroca, which took six years and is known as the Three Uniques.

In fact, things in the world are always planted by predecessors and shaded by later generations. When the square was inaugurated in 1844, Joseph had already left the throne and emigrated to the United States, where he died.

Even his younger brother, the great Napoleon, has been hiccups for twenty years, so although the gardening is in the French style, the statue is back in the Spanish orbit, and this is fate.

Just when everyone passed by a sculpture of human nature, suddenly the clay figure stood up, if it wasn't for Xia Long's quick reaction, Xia Hu would almost kill someone!

Actually a living person?

You stand or sit motionless, and if you drop a coin from the hat in front of you, you will make cute gestures and expressions. The foreigner was also shocked, almost tried Chinese kung fu, rewarded 100 euros, took a group photo, and everyone was shocked.

Cervantes, considered one of Spain's greatest writers, is not. During his lifetime, he was poor and bumpy, and spent more than ten years in prison, and his experience was very similar to Sima Qian, who was cut off.

It seems that only when you are born bored, or when you are free from low-level interests, can you immerse yourself in research?

Finally, Las Ventas, the most famous century-old bullring, has a capacity of 30,000 spectators in the shape of a Roman theater-like circle with a red-painted façade.

Spain is the only country that regards death as a feast for the eyes of the whole people, and bullfighting is a grand event and a major festival, even in the face of the most naked death, you can't be discouraged.

The bloody yellow sand of the bullring is directly reflected in the yellow and red flag, which is integrated into the blood of the Spaniards. It started on time at four o'clock in the afternoon, and each three-hour session, sitting in the VIP seat, was finally able to witness the touching scene of the bullfighter being blown off the chrysanthemum by the big black bull.
