This weekend I’ve been in Madrid and I seized the opportunity to visit the new building built for La Caixa’s cultural activities. I visited also a exposition about religious Italian painters.

I really don’t care about the paintings (It’s pretty boring for me to see one ofter another these days) but I really loved the building, especially the idea of the vertical garden. It’s so cool to have a fresh living wall instead of a boring grey one!

And the building is so interesting too, because they use an old building as base and created a new one respecting the soul of the old one but making it way nicer and modern.

As we were on easter week, there were some holy week processions and I had the opportunity to see ‘la castellana’ and ‘gran via’ closed, only open for pedestrians and without traffic. It’s very nice to walk around the main streets without traffic because you can focus on the buildings and you always discover new faces of the same old thing.
