Many of you will know the story of El Ráton Pérez who lived in a biscuit box in a pastelería in Calle Arenal ( Madrid ) . Often missed ,there is a plaque celebrating his life above the door at Calle Arenal 8 . To see his life sized statue you have to walk into the building . It´s opposite ( very nice for a hungry mouse ) the cheese shop .
onMadrid , which is a free magazine that comes with El País newspaper has an article saying that the museum in honour of Ratón Pérez has now opened at C/Arenal 15/16 ( 1st floor ) . Children go free and adults pay just €1 !
According to the article it´s a small , but magical space ..
The story of Pérez was written for the young prince . who became king , Alfonso xiii .
