In the Streets (travel continued)

Madrid

The Spanish take their politics seriously. On our first full day in Madrid we saw three anti-austerity marches. After that we saw demonstrations almost daily. Unions, healthcare professionals, students, senior citizens, people from all parts of Spanish society were marching.

Barcelona

It was impressive to see so many young people out in the streets.

100,000 people out in the streets of Madrid protesting cuts to education.

Sunday, Main Beach

Sundays the Latin dance crew take over the deck near the Ideal Fish Restaurant.  In the summer they can really draw a crowd.

Street Scene

Grab shot on Lincoln Street in Santa Cruz. I always find street photography challenging. The photographer has to be a little bit sneaky and very quick.
