Madrid: "El Oso y el Madroņo" gets moved!! - 09/22/09 01:31 PM
It's TRUE! I witnessed it just this morning. Madrid's city symbol, "El Oso y el Madroņo" statue (The Bear & the Berry Tree), was removed today where Calle del Carmen meets the Puerta del Sol after 25 years in that location.
For now, the statue is "on vacation" until Friday when it will be "re-planted" in its new location. I'm writing a blog entry about it now and will include its link here in the next couple of hours - AS WELL AS PHOTOS!
