High Heels Race

Nunca falto a la carrera de tacones en Chueca. La estrechísima calle Pelayo se convierte en una trampa abarrotada de multitudes, y es ese abigarramiento en tan poco espacio lo que le da un carácter tan peculiar.

I never miss the High Heels Race in Chueca, which runs during the Pride Week in Madrid. The tight Pelayo St. becomes a trap crammed of crowds, and it is that very jam of people which gives the Race its peculiar attractive.

Madrid, the faces of the protest

Today my daughter and I went to the huge protest against cutbacks, unemployment and corruption. Claudia captured the faces of the protesters, hundreds of thousands people fed up and angry with the lack of political solutions.
