Yesterday, I was out and about when I heard some noise that sounded intriguing. Now, I know that I live in a city and it's pretty much always noisy. But, you kind of get used to typical city noise and you don't really notice it much after a while.
This, however, was not typical city noise. It turned out to be some kind of a huge protest that had shut traffic down on Fuencarral, which is the street that serves as the line between the Malasaña and Chueca barrios (neighborhoods). Fuencarral is always pretty busy, so I guess it's one of the logical choices if you want to hold a protest march.
I think this one was about jobs and the economy, based on some of the signs people were carrying. Don't quote me on that though. We haven't covered protests in language study yet :).
