What Quevedo saw on these streets.

Did you know that two minutes from here, in Puerta del Sol, sits Kilometre Zero, from which every road in Spain is measured?

This is how Quevedo described it in El Buscón:

“We reached Madrid, and I prayed God to leave me in good standing, for I came in bad.”
Francisco de Quevedo · El Buscón
