Some photos from Madrid

I'm in Madrid this week for the 6th Synchrotron Radiation in Polymer Science conference. Not that I do a lot of work in polymer science, but as a satellite meeting to the Small Angle Scattering conference in Berlin next week (at which I have been invited to give a plenary talk) I thought it would be useful to attend and learn more about.

Here are some photos, mostly from Sunday where I spent the day exploring the city.

Plaza Mayor (Main square)

Streets in the old part of Madrid

Plaza del Sol (Square of the sun)
