A memory from Plaza Mayor

Plaza Mayor, Madrid, Spain

Plaza Mayor was not just another stop on the map for me. I had written down Pl. Mayor, 28012 Madrid before leaving the hotel, and when I reached it, I slowed down on purpose because the place deserved more than a quick photo. The light, the noise, and the people passing through all made the moment feel honest. What I remember most is not one big event, but the way the place made ordinary things feel meaningful. I left with sore feet, a few photos, and a quiet promise to myself that I would pay more attention to days like this when they come.
