Madrid Free Events: Fiesta de San Isidro (14/05/2012 - Madrid Sensations Tours (original) (raw)
In this Goya Painting “La Ermita de San Isidro el día de la fiesta”, the Museo del Prado describes:
During the fiesta of Saint Isidore, patron saint of Madrid, on 15 May, the city dwellers visit his hermitage to drink the water from a miraculous spring that, according to tradition, the saint caused to flow. In the foreground, a group of majas waits for their companions to bring them water. In the background, the crowd waits in line for access to the spring, beneath the imposing architectural mass of the hermitage. They are observed by two Guardias de Corps who are among them, recognizable by their uniforms.
In 2012, we still celebrate this “Fiesta” during a fabolous week. Tomorrow, in Sain Isidore Eve, we’ll go to the Retiro Park to see the fireworks.
Meeting point: 21:30 at Retiro Metro Station.
We’ll be there, leave a comment if you want to join us in this free tour!
