  • This album is creative and interesting. I did not realize these tile signs were so common and beautiful. A great album, as the visit and downloads show. Cheers, Elm

  • Genial Francisca! Verdaderamente lo magico de la fotografia esta tambien en que el fotografo sepa encontrar estos pequeños detalles y los convierta en protagonistas de preciosas escenas. Has conseguido que de un paseo por el Madrid de mi memoria, disfrutando de esas pequeñas cosas que tantas veces pasamos por alto con las prisas. Enhorabuena y gracias, Montse-Kinneret

  • Hola Francisca, no conocia la existencia de este album tuyo y me ha encantado, no solo por la peculiaridad de informar de las calles, sino porque junto al nombre de cada calle, esta la imagen o el dibujo alusivo al nombre de la misma. Vamos que lo he visto sin darme cuenta y disfrutando de lo lindo. Gracias por este trabajo tan bonito. Te envío mi mas cordial saludo. Jesus

  • In Madrid, if you must rely on street names you will not find them hanging from a traffic light or on an obvious street post. Instead you will find your street (calle) decoratively painted on tiling against the side of a building usually near an intersection. Keep an eye open while you’re navigating around Madrid for the fine tiles showing street names. Some are portraits of famous people - Cervantes, Queen Isabel, the playwright Calderon de la Barca – while others show landscapes of old Madrid, with picturesque details. In the Old Center of Madrid, it is impossible not to notice that there are colourful decorations everywhere. Street names are displayed in Tiles, often with images referring to the name of the street. Beautiful tiles are commonly used as decorations on shops and buildings, but in Madrid, also as streetsigns...

  • I like the street signs there so much more than any I have ever seen, and what a wonderful idea for an album. I really like the way the bldgs. were painted to blend and accent the signs. I also like your style very much. Di

  • Francisca, I like this album! It's the kind that I really enjoy visiting. thanks for creating and sharing it with everyone. Thanks for your kind greetings on my featured album few days ago. As for my entry in the weekly challenge, it's a number plate indicating the street name and house number (written in Hebrew since it was taken in Israel). Wishing you a wonderful day, Yair.

  • Hello Francisca, what a great idea to do the street signs this way. Spain is known for their beautiful tiles - so this is very fitting. I love Spain but I have never been to Madrid (even though the daughter of my good girlfriend lives there). Maybe someday I will get a chance to visit Madrid - I know that it is very interesting and there is so much to see there. Take care, Eve
