While on my first trip to Madrid in 1973, we were told to look out the right side of the bus where the limousine of Francisco Franco and Juan Peron was passing us.

Since then I have seen Jose Maria Aznar in an Easter procession just feet from me, Real Madrid player Raul in a barbeque restaurant and Joaquin Sabina crossing Calle Alcala.

Anybody else have a brush with a Madrid celebrity?
