Maltese Conquering Madrid!

A few days before arriving in Madrid I contacted a friend of mine who has been living in the Spanish capital for the past 2 years, teaching English and Arts in a church school. I met Maria Delicata at Junior College, however only became good friends last year, during one of her holidays in Malta.

When speaking to Maria on the phone, we decided to meet at the centre of Madrid on my last day in the city. On the phone Maria told me that she was going to get married next year and that she had bought a house together with her boy friend in the outskirts o Madrid, 2 hours away from the centre.

Anyways, two days before, whilst walking along a street in Madrid I saw a familiar face, sitting down on a chair outside a bar. Alpio, an old friend of mine from the Maltese Eurovision scene, whom I knew he lived in Madrid. Surprisingly enough, Alpio was in the company of two other Maltese friends of mine who were in Spain on holiday, Alexis and L.

It was so astonishing to meet friends in such an enormous city. Needless to say, we spent the last two days of our stay in Madrid in good Maltese company! On the last night, Malta conquered Plaza Mayor. Six Maltese in one square in Madrid, meeting mostly by chance.
