Today’s Walk to Church comes to us from Dayna, who has been kind enough to let us publish a couple of her poems:
My husband and I spent a month in Spain this past summer leading a study abroad group. We were situated in downtown Madrid, right across the street from the Biblioteca Nacional. Instead of taking the subway, we thought it might be more colorful to pack our camera and walk to the nearest church building. Here is some of what we saw:

Dayna, I simultaneously love and loathe these pictures. I’m so jealous!!
Love the Puerta de Alcala, the correo boxes, the recycling containers, Las Ventas (even though I did not love the bullfight I attended there – ugh), Las Meninas advertisement, the bright red door of the church building . . .
I would love to visit there! Great pictures! :)
Fun to relive our May visit to Madrid. We saw grand cathedrals in other Spanish cities, but we didn’t visit a single church in Madrid, only wonderful museums. I enjoyed your beautiful streets scenes.
