I was in Madrid earlier this year, and decided to resume a blog series idea - riding a circular metro line.
Madrid's circular line - Línea 6 Circular - goes through 28 stations. I started and ended at the cavernous Principe Pio.
Madrid metro trains have no internal doors, so you can see all along the carriages. At Laguna station, the doors of the train opened on both sides. Never seen that before!
And here's who I saw:
- A man sleeping, a woman sniffling
- A woman speaking on her phone about this and that, ending the call with a low aaaaahhhhh
- A man in a flat-cap dashing along the platform
- A woman carrying toilet rolls laughing heartily with her companion.
- A man on crutches, watching cartoons on his phone
- A woman singing a song into a karaoke microphone, and everyone ignoring her.
- A man selling lollipops from a small green plastic basket. His blue back-pack had the words 'Kings of Europe' written on it.
- A young man on his phone - I was standing up, so could see the screen: he looked at memes, then nail cosmetics tutorials and then started playing chess
- A very tall young man, dressed in monochrome, untangling his white earphones
