The Iberian blackout was wild and I fear some were really harmed. But here in our Madrid neighborhood folks were chill. Lots of kids on the park and happy lingering beer drinking on patios. Hard to imagine this much social cohesion in the US.
We had a terrace picnic.

Unsolicited semi-random restaurant review #18:
Restaurante Vizcaino in Sentenil de las Bodegas. Out of the tourist flow. Marginally insane menu. Delicious. Get the special burger with green sauce.
