Visited Madrid for the first time on Friday 1 June 2007. The picture on the left was snapped as I was driving away from the Puerto de Alcalá. Unfortunatly I was concentrating on driving a bit too much to get a good snap!! Had a good day though.
I went to renew my British passport which expired a few months ago. Here is a good tip - going in person to renew your passport is a great idea, because the new rules for biometric photos are stiff and you may find as a friend of mine did, that you end up sending a postal application two or three times before you get it right. BUT IF YOU DO GO IN PERSON THE OFFICE CLOSES AT 13:30 AND DOESN'T OPEN AGAIN UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY. After a four hour drive I made it with 15 mins to spare but If I were going again I'd leave myself another couple of hours.
