Daily torture


The sign says "Your euros = our daily torture by music"

Plaza Santa Ana is famous for being one of Hemmingway's favorite place to hang out in Madrid. Tourist flock there to enjoy the sunny terazas. And therefore, so flock the street musicians and various other entrepreneurs trying to make a buck, or rather, a Euro, off the tourists. But the neighbors have had enough. That same old accordion song from dawn until dusk is setting them off. One woman went on TV to plead to the authorities to make them stop. Her baby can't sleep. They can't hear their own TV or radio. So, please, they beg, take your damn music someplace else.
