We spent most of Saturday in the Salamanca district, Madrid's toniest shopping and residential area. Madrid used to be a walled city, but when the walls were pulled down in the nineteenth century, the wealthy immediately moved to this area, which was just outside the former walls. There's some derogatory term for the people who live here, something like the English "yuppie" but I can't remember it. It generally resembles a cross between Manhattan's Upper East Side and Rodeo Drive. Somchai didn't take his camera around because we were trying to blend in with the yuppy-equivalents, but I found a few pics on the web, mostly of the business district here. Weirdly, the incredibly ornate building you see in the one photo is the post office.
