Painting in Retiro

Sunday saw the annual speed painting festival in the Retiro Park. We popped along to enjoy the good weather, meet our artist friend Anne for a drink and check out the work in action.

Here are some of our favourites:
Naturally painting wasn't the only activity going on in the park - there was also a classical concert taking place, a water-borne demo, a vast array of hawkers and buskers, acrobats practising and dance troupes rehearsing.
Who needs festivals when Madrilenos lay on this kind of free entertainment every weekend?
