Talk about Magical Madrid

As that great writer and rector of the University of Salamanca, Miguel de Unamuno, thought in relation to how easy it was for him to 'read' a cathedral like the Pulchra Leonina in León, it is also, in some way, relatively easy for those of us who were born in a city like Madrid to read, even if only between the lines, part of that historicity that makes its neighborhoods and its most unique buildings a welcoming invitation to enter that other parallel universe of the fantastic, which is always speculation.

Beyond the sight of the daring beauty of the fantasy of some architectures, which, by themselves, powerfully call the attention, awakening in the spirit of the tourist the irrepressible desire to immortalize themselves with them, coexist, in the shadow of some ancestral traditions, a multitude of stories and legends, which, far from being, as one might think at first, simple grandmother's tales, constitute the raw material of what, for some years now, can be considered as what many call the other Madrid: the Magical Madrid.
