Things to do in Madrid city

La Latina

Currently, I don’t spend too much time outdoors, therefore my view can be a little bit outdated. However, my impression is that things haven’t changed too much in the last few years, thus you may find this information useful if you come to the city where I'm living.

Conflicto con mis vecinos

Charles Chaplin (1889-1977)

Instant messaging applications

Since the Internet and email as a means of text communication were established for commercial use (the early 1990s), there have been several tools that have emerged to enable instant messaging, or what is better known as chat. With the emergence of smartphones in the mid-2000s, these instant messaging tools have become ubiquitous. It is easy to observe how every traveler is utterly focused on her/his terminal chatting with one of her/his contacts on some very important topic when one takes public transport.

The haunted time travel of the mad candidate to Knight Templar

Star Wars (1977)

In the 12th Century, deep in Old Castile, there was a young soldier who was preparing to become a Knight Templar. His name was Pedro Zarquillo. From an early age, he followed very carefully every instruction of his masters. But there was a final trial which he had to get through. The night before he was going to be ordained as a Knight Templar, he was asked to leave Old Castile. He was only provided with his white horse ‘Luciernaga’, a bottle of good old Castilian wine, and two pieces of bread. He was told to travel to the west and get as far as he could. Although he didn’t understand anything, he tried not to think too much, as he had always been compliant with every order from his templar masters. Thus, that very night, he left Old Castile.
