Spain - Police Stop and Question

spain madrid diary police

He-he-he.. long time i didn’t have anything like that.

So, i was walking around the hotel at night, a little bit of exploring. it was already a little late, i spent like an hour trying to understand how to walk from the area we’re in to the area next to it.

So i almost got home, saw a police car driving around, and as always was starring at it. (it was interesting, their woh-wohs are not blinking, but just lighting the area around with blue light)

They turned around, stopped their car, left, started coming at me. They kinda surrounded me, one of them had a stick. 🫣

One of them started talking to me in spanish, and i was like ingles, and he started questionging me pretty strictly like what are you going here? and right after that are you here for travel or business.

I got scared and forgot all my vaunted spanish and could just say asilo and croiz roja.

And that exact moment with a little bit unsatisfied face they showed me to go further.

It was fun, now i have something to tell other people.

As the volunteers from the red cross told me it’s probably because we’re actually in an area with some squatters living near by.

In addition, today a lot of police came to our hotel, it seems like something is really going on.


The weekends went well, I really like how Spanish speaking people celebrate like every day.

Spanish speaking people are very social, I’m loving it! I meet and talk to a bunch of people every day, learn a lot of stuff!

And also, many people here smoke, I love smoking! 😃


Also, a little bit more about my walking around. 😂

OK, like almost every time I go outside I see rabbits.

But another time I went for a walk with a lady from Venezuela. and we saw freaking parrots, like a lot, we were not sure if they are here natively or somebody forgot to close the cage.
