Plaza Mayor

When you have only a few days to visit a place with an unknown schedule, the best thing you can do is capture what you see. Make sure you photograph the local food, the people, artwork, and street scenes.
During my fist day in Madrid, we decided to walk downtown and see a few places (totally unplanned). Street photography was the first thing that came to mind, every corner and street we walked I tried to capture the culture.
The scene above was shot before entering Plaza Mayor. I saw the columns, the archway and instantly I thought monochrome.
