Protest in Madrid summer 2011 due to crisis
I was there during this protest with some friends from out of Spain, right there in the middle of Puerta de Sol. It was amazing to see hundreds of thousands of people. One guy even walked along Gran Via completely naked, with just a card saying "I have no money, to buy food or clothes" covering his private parts (which didn't help all that much with the covering).

General Strike in Spain, 30th Sept 2010
Yesterday, it was quite a view for me, as usual. There were people shouting out slogans, waving flags, throwing out flyers…to protest against the Spanish government’s plans to cut civil service salaries by five per cent. We were at SOL and GRAN VIA, and there were just too many people. I was told that in Barcelona things went sour. You can see some pics here from Madrid.
