It was a sunny day yesterday, March 29, 2012 when there was a  Huelga General or  General strike in  Spain.  I witnessed the one held in Madrid, Spain since I am still here until now.  A lot of  flights were cancelled yesterday  in Spain especially in Madrid. Delays and cancellations  on some transportation like autobuses, metro, trains and taxis   also took place. Lots of stores and shops were also closed.  Despite this strike some cafes and restaurants were still opened yesterdayThe Spanish unions have called the general strike for labour reform.

It was quite a calm and peaceful strike in Madrid. The apartment where I am staying is located in Sol. From the top of  the terrace, I can see the people striking down the road.  I  went  down to go to Puerta del Sol but the streets were heavily crowded with lots of  people especially the strikers.

Here are some images I took yesterday in Sol, Madrid.

Event date: Thursday 29th March 2012 – all day
Event location: Madrid and all Spain
There were a lot of trash and garbage on the streets of Madrid. Today, when I look down from  the  apartment where I am staying, I found out that it was already cleaned. It seems that the normal life and business in Madrid is backed to normal.
