Synopsis "Madrid (in Italian)"

La famosa Puerta del Sol è vivacità di gente allegra, è gaiezza carnevalesca, ozio inquieto, ribollimento, febbriciattola di piacere, che vi si attacca e vi tien lì o vi spinge in giro come un arcolaio senza lasciarvi uscir dalla piazza; una curiosità che non si stanca mai, una beata voglia di spassarsela, di non pensare a nulla, d'ascoltar chiacchiere, di bighellonare, di ridere.
