When I travel to familiar places, I try to get images that are different 
from the "standard" views. Here are a couple from the Royal Palace, 
which I hope accomplish that. First, the big area in front of the palace 
invites skateboarders:

A couple says goodbye in front of the Sol metro station:

The last three are from what is likely the most photographed spot in 
Madrid, Plaza Mayor. Entering the plaza through one of the many gates:

Your photos of Spain seem to have a magic about them.  I love to see your 
photos from there.  Like the alt of the palace, and those from Plaza Mayor.  
The 
artist shot is probably my favorite.
