Hermitage of San Isidro, the most traditional Madrid

By |2021-07-29T11:54:30+02:0029th November, 2015|365 days in Madrid, BLOG, HIGHLIGHTS|

Currently, the pilgrimage to San Isidro is celebrated nearby on May 15, one of the most traditional festivals in the city. For some years, the festival was losing interest, but in the eighties of the XNUMXth century the tradition was strongly recovered, thanks to the joint work of Father Manuel González López-Corps, parish priest of the hermitage of San Isidro; the mayor of Madrid Enrique Tierno Galván; the councilors of Carabanchel Miguel Lara and Joaquín García Pontes; and the neighborhood movements, very powerful at that time.

Museum of America

Although there are many relevant pieces, I would like to highlight the treasure of the Quimbayas, a unique set in the world, preserved in the museum thanks to the generosity of the Colombian Government, which gave it to the Spanish Crown in 1892, on the occasion of the IV Centennial of the Encounter. .

The building is made up of four interconnected circular bodies, the main and most striking one having 7 floors. The curtain wall stands out, built with anodized aluminum sheet and windows made of extruded aluminum profiles, also anodized in bronze color.

Church of Saint Peter the Elder

By |2015-11-22T23:15:50+01:0022nd November, 2015|365 days in Madrid, BLOG, HIGHLIGHTS|

Originally the name of the church was “San Pedro el Real”, and so for centuries, until 1891 when it ceased to be a parish in favor of the current Iglesia de la Paloma, which is officially called “San Pedro el Real”. You already know how Madrid residents like to rename everything, we quickly renamed the oldest temple with the name “San Pedro el Viejo”. That is why everyone refers to the temple located on Calle del Nuncio as San Pedro el Viejo.
