Description:

As part of the global protest against the economic crisis and political system in Spain and the rest of the world, the 15M “Indignants” organized a demonstration in Madrid and other parts of Spain on the 15O. Spain, Madrid, 15/10/2011

The protest by the 15M in Madrid was to march from Cibeles to Sol. When I arrived in Calle Alcala from Sol I could see densely packed people all the way to the Puerta de Alcala.

I walked all the way to Cibeles and then turned into the Paseo Del Prado. At 7pm there were people all the way down to the Thyssen Museum.

I left the event at this point.
