The March Down Paseo De la Castellana

Today the trophy and the players were received by a Plaza packed by about 1 million fans, worse than yesterday.

Within walking distance of my apt, I heard horns, firetrucks, planes (painted the Spanish colors in the sky), absolutely insane.

The team danced on stage on tv as if they were 10, so much jubilation. Incredible. I wish someone could see this. The plaza looks like Times Square on New Years Eve, colored red, and on steroids. From the air, the city of Madrid looks so similar to Washington DC, very similar clean wide streets and what not.
