so today I'm exploring one of Madrid's most diverse districts I mean Carabanchel
where Carabanchel passes and turns into Lucetta it's known to be possibly one of
the most obvious areas but I would say it's delightful let's find out
Oya
Spain's climates pretty good for peaches they are growing
so gated windows are really common throughout Latin America for obvious reasons in Madrid I
would say they're not that common really just depends on where you are and as such word I know
but I'm faced right now it's sort of is a signal of I guess the type of neighborhoods you're in
phase two Madrid means most restaurants are open at a limited capacity we can leave at any hour
of the day and life sort of back to normal with the exception of mandatory maths if you can't
maintain a 1.5 meter distance so yeah the virus is present it's lurking but we're almost through
so in this particular neighborhood of Madrid we are in caught a bunch as still this is sort of
the living quarters at least how they appear on the outside I would say a lot of these are
actually pretty nice on the inside and they're probably gonna run you at around 300 dollars
of room usually three bedroom 900 euros not bad cheap compared to Western us standards in
other parts of Europe gotta remember the wages here are low and this is metro and bus station
Plaza elliptical which is a pretty central bus station that will get you all around Spain if
you catch a bus here for example if you want to go to Toledo you catch this bus at this station
and now we're crossing into Oh Sarah
I just loves elliptical and I'm now entering the district of who set up
my trades most diverse part of the old diverse neighborhood
I would say the biggest ethnic group are Bolivians but there's an assortment of
Latinos middle Easterns Eastern European and there's actually a China top let's check it out
with feta which is the name of a historically famous businessman in Madrid and you can
already see that this neighborhood is different than the majority of neighborhoods in Madrid
the infrastructure is different it's more culturally diverse there's even a Chinatown
within this model that I'm exploring here one thing about this neighborhood is the population
density is really really high so there's a lot of people that live per square kilometre
with other neighborhoods this could definitely be described as a working-class neighborhood
but I can almost guarantee you that the crime rate is actually pretty low here in general the
crime rate in Madrid is very very low you almost never hear of murders especially random murders
little to no gun violence I guess the most you got
to deal with would be pickpocketing and sophisticated scams and the tourist areas
so you can see how in Madrid with such a high population density that a quarantine confined
the house without Lea being able to leave to go to the park to have exercise you can see how it
was hard for us here it was definitely hard us in Italy or the strictest countries in Europe and
just to be able to be out right now while still maintaining social distance and enjoy the fresh
air at any hour of the day is is really amazing it just makes you appreciate the little things
we're nearing sunset it's about 9:50 p.m. summer solstice is approaching
about 11 days away all right notice the Chinese characters Nihao so we are in Chinatown or at
least a portion of it within Isetta like I said this neighborhoods really diverse
we got a old-school Pau Gasol fan
here's like the fourth fruit and vegetable store in Spanish it would be called a fruit
area and this would be called a panaderia bread store Colombian bread store all right
here's one of Madrid's main rivers here is El Matadero Legaspi at OCHA
just miss the sunset but still got some good views
