“If you are lucky enough to have lived in [Madrid] as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for [Madrid] is a moveable feast.” (Hemingway, "A Moveable Feast", a book that in Spanish was published as "Paris era una fiesta").

Madrid was a fiesta. In September 2014, in the ceremony of Alvaro del Portillo beatification, a catholic Bishop Prelate of the Opus Dei, they came 200,000 people from all over the world. It was a religious fiesta. Everybody was dressed with their best, many with traditional dresses like these elegant women from a (unknown for me) country of Africa. I shot this photo while walking pushed by the crowd. See my photos of the event in a presentation with music:
