Having learned of Madrid Río through Google, I stuck it on my 'must-see' list, and then promptly forgot all about it. Many months later, a friend suggested we go check it out. Naturally I was camera-less, so I resolved to return another day with my trusty Nikon in tow...
I instantly felt at home, so much so that some months later I would find an apartment a stone's throw from there, and each morning I would take full advantage of the park and go for a run. Unfortunately, the apartment, or rather the flat-mate, turned out to be a mistake, and within weeks I'd left it and moved to the other side of town. Nonetheless, whenever I felt like being near water, I'd metro it to
Príncipe Pío and wander along the river...
