We hung out in Chueca Plaza, pictured here, which was packed with gays, and becomes an open air mosh pit in the evening, way past our bedtime. Then we did even more shopping on Calle Fuencarral, also pictured here. It's a long, fun road of trendy/gay/teen shops and Somchai scooped up lots more stuff so he could accumulate enough shopping bags to hide the stuffy ones he had accumulated during the morning Salamanca shopping. The best shop on the street was Pleasure and Punishment, which, contrary to what you'd expect from the name, had a great selection of up and coming designer names.






We headed over to Chueca, Madrid's gay district, in the afternoon. First we had a late lunch at 26 Liberty, a gay restaurant that got good reviews. It wasn't very good, apart from the fact that it was gay, and I don't have any photos because I couldn't find it on the web, so I think it's not around anymore. Again since we were camera-less I snagged these pics from the web, which should give you the idea that Chueca is very, very, very gay.
