    madrid streetnames

    In the old city of Madrid streetnames are shown on ceramic tiles, visualizing what the name means. Somebody told me that was done for the illiterate so they could find their way in the city. I couldn't verify that story.

    Below some examples. Just to be clear, the streetnames are the subject.

    George,

    Very interesting. I realize the signs are the subject, but the streets with the activity add even more interest.

    That's why that are streetnames.

    Something else you see looking up are the balcony's. Hardly any sign of life on them. Except some airco's.
