THERE ARE SEVERAL EXAMPLES OF COUNTRIES AND REGIONS THAT WANT INDEPENDENCE AND TO BREAK AWAY FROM COUNTRIES THAT RULE THEM.

Don't forget to visit the Central Library again on Shakespeare's and Cervantes' birthdays
Children from local schools will be reading  aloud in Spanish Don Quijote de La Mancha in the hallway.
This  lovely tradition should be a tourist attraction.

Sunday morning at the Botanic Garden in Madrid

We had a very informed guided tour of the gardens thanks to ASEDOW member, Encarna, who is also a member of Amigos del Jardín Botánico de Madrid.

The first surprise was to leave Atocha station and walk up C/ Alfonso X11 and see the astronomy observatory on  a hill inside the Retiro. This was when our tour started with Encarna explaining everything. We also crossed the Madrid half marathon and some of us cheered them on.

We will post the photos of all the wonderful things we saw and write some comments soon.
Thanks, Encarna for bringing together once again ASEDOW and la Escuela Oficial de Idiomas and sharing a great activity.

Easter is coming!
