Andy Rodker's photos with the keyword: Plaza de Lima

Slow progress but the new roof supports are nearly up and work stopped due to recent high winds (Alex).

Plaza de Lima and the Estadio de Santiago Bernabéu (undergoing reconstruction - desecration in my view - but who am I to decry 'progress'?).

An iconic stadium and home of Real Madrid. I thought I had better take a last photo before it is turned into a giant aluminium George Foreman grilling machine. (Thanks to Keith Burton for that analogy! Better than the 'Cornish pasty' I compared it to at first!). I saw the plans a few years ago - I taught English there - so I know of what I speak ...and was horrified! OK, here it is www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pPohc_3dRA I sincerely believe the current building should be preserved as a cultural and architectural icon. But I am too late as the building work has begun and Real Madrid are playing their revived season's fan-less home match programme at their training complex at Valdebebas to the north-east of Madrid and I presume they will play there until 2023.

Dusk. Taken from in front of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. When I took this in 2014, I was teaching both at the Torre Europa (at KPMG) and at Real Madrid, so only a short hop between classes!
