10 Things I Love About Madrid

1. You can play loud music at midnight with windows open and the neighbors never complain, since they are themselves celebrating loudly, drinking Mahou.

2. The stark difference between Salamanca and MalasaƱa. From fur coats and stylish coiffures to crop tops and pink hair, the city embraces everything.

3. How happy everyone is in the summer. You can feel it in the air.

4. How a cloud of laziness pervades the city come July, and not much is done or expected.

5. The acceptable length of shorts (or the lack of it thereof).

6. The continuous protests that disrupt the city, and the passion behind the motivation. You never know when you’d turn into a street and be joining screaming protestors.

7. The madness over football.

8. How blue the sky is. Even in winters.

9. The ability of the city to seem safe even at 2 am at night.

10.  The restaurants offering three course “menu del dia” for lunch.
