For the past several days, Puerta del Sol, in the main plaza in the center of Madrid, has been packed. Since elections are tomorrow, today is set aside aside as a day for reflection. No demonstrations or campaigning can legally take place. In spite of this, there are still thousands of people camping out, handing out flyers, and protesting the way the government is handling the economic crisis and unemployment (among plenty of other complaints...).
On Thursday I wandered through the tents, signs, hippies, posters, and demonstrators to get a feel for what was going on with my roommate and 2 neighbors.
