Pax vobiscum
On Sundays, certain streets of Madrid, especially that brand-new Pasaje de la Luz (Light Passage), which has its axis in the Paseo del Prado, usually become a paradise for the pedestrian, who can enjoy them widely, without the traffic, infernal in them from Monday to Saturday, become an obstacle.
It is then, when that grim theater, metaphorically speaking, opens the curtain on a new play where the picturesque settings of yesterday bring classicist perfection to adorn the cultural walks of today.
It is nice to see and at the same time live this type of urban revolutions, which far from the inevitable barricades of previous times, somehow revive that significant part of the Mass, in which the priest ends his homily, pronouncing a phrase in Latin, that despite being a dead language, everyone knows its meaning: Peace vobiscum or may peace be with you or with you.
Activities and feelings that are worth studying, especially in these times, when we witness a world tormented by cruel pandemics, in which we have learned that moments are fleeting and that our situation is subject to the wayward laws of a fortune - understand, in the sense of luck - that he does not marry anyone.
For this reason and because moments of peace are so difficult to achieve, we must also enjoy the peace that always accompanies these walks, without ever forgetting, in addition, that Latin maxim that Carpe Diem used to say: live, enjoy the moment.

Thank-you very much
Wow, it's environmentally friendly, people rarely use motorbikes and choose to walk. The photos you take at Pasaje de la Luz (Light Passage) just really reflect how many people like to walk and enjoy the scenery. It's different from going here for a while, even though it's close, still using a motorbike.
Your shooting skills for a good view are very aesthetic, keep it up, I will look forward to your next post with various amazing photos. Actually I also want to post amazing photos and stories but I rarely go on trips to nice places hehe
Well, let's say it is a policy of conciliation, awareness and the environment that has been taking place on Sundays in Madrid for years, although it raises a lot of controversy, because as you know, not everyone thinks the same. But it is a good initiative to decongest the capital of smoke and also for people, in some way, to enjoy those places generally invaded by heavy traffic. Greetings
Yes, I know because abroad is synonymous with walking habits which have many benefits, eliminating congestion, walking also trains leg muscles to move. if that habit happened here it would be great to reduce the smoke
Is this pedestrian way closed to traffic on Sunday?
Yes, for some years it has been cut from morning until two or three in the afternoon.
