RE: Every square has its own horseman

Beautiful photos of Madrid at night. Near the Opera metro, I guess for a music lover, you can't visit Madrid without seeing the Teatro Real. As a curiosity, chestnuts are a traditional hand-warmer. Not so many years ago, they were sold by the "castañeras" (chestnut sellers) who, together with their charcoal stoves, formed one of the typical images of Madrid in winter. Greetings

Yes, roasted chestnuts are perfect hand warmers 😁 Last winter we enjoyed them in other cities too when we were travelling a bit. And in Portugal, they make them in a salty version.

I hope to be able to try the ones from Portugal someday, although taking vacation days in the winter here is complicated for me. Greetings

Luckily, it is already spring ;)

Yes, it's almost spring, best regards
