Signs Of Bruised Knuckle

Fallen Angel Memorial Stone Dance

This morning we witnessed a historic gymkana called "Dance Rocks" that organized Atacama Cultural Services. Fortunately, there has been a hot day, since we have had to travel long distances to photograph monuments that have changed locations, and track their original state. Although we have not managed to find all selected points, have been the winning team ... And what a good time ever!

began the gymkhana in door leading to withdrawal from the Plaza de la Independencia . Originally, this door was located in the Casino Queen , fifth and playground that the City of Madrid gave in 1818 to Queen Isabel of Braganza, wife of Fernando VII, for personal enjoyment. The door was moved to the gardens of Retiro in 1885, where he is today.

The Galapagos source is located in the Plaza de Nicaragua within the Parque del Retiro, in the late nineteenth century. This fountain was built in 1832 to commemorate the birth of Queen Elizabeth II and originally stood at the Red de San Luis and served to supply water to the residents of Madrid.

The Felipe IV door access Retiro is situated opposite the Cason del Buen Retiro, in the Calle de Alfonso XII. This door, baroque style, was originally located in the Carrera de San Jerónimo , current Plaza Canovas del Castillo, and rose in 1680 to serve the arched entrance to the first wife of Charles II, Maria Luisa of Orléans. In 1857 he moved to the fall of Jeronimos , next to the Church and since 1922 is in its current location.

In 1858, the company MZA (Madrid-Zaragoza-Alicante) inaugurated the first railway line and up a small building to house the offices next to the old pier on the Madrid-Aranjuez, built in 1851. Two years later, by increasing the activity of the railway, stands a new pavilion, a new administrative building, designed by French architect Bonoist V. Lenoir and stood at the present G Lorieta of Emperor Charles V . This building was moved stone by stone to Avenida Ciudad de Barcelona when in 1888 he built the current station Atocha. He is currently attached with cantilevered walkways to other buildings later twins.
