The

likes

-pronúnciese in English are the pulsómetro of life itself. The unstoppable meter that blesses, with a simple touch of the thumb,

that insulting sunset in Ibiza

; the perfect geometry of a

sushi

plate

;

that

selfie

dangerously angled towards the bottom of the bikini; a stolen kiss at

the most sought-after traffic light in the Plaza de Callao

. At this point in the century, the least of it is if the

sashimi

is fresh or if there is good love in the kiss,

Lorca

love, crazy love that makes the skin crawl;

that's what Instagram filters are for

.

In the absence of a boyfriend to deal with in a Venetian gondola, a pizza with a 'Bahamas filter' is well worth it at the corner bar to go around the world.

The 'menina' of Colón.JAVIER BARBANCHO

As Sabina said,

let's say we are talking about Madrid

; All you have to do is ride the carousel of social networks to discover that the capital is a million versions of itself, as many as tourists who upload minute by minute

their tuned photos, their

Christmas

selfies

, their

personalized

tick tocks

. The city has made service its charms visitors

-art, gastronomy, architecture,

shopping deluxe

-

. The lordship of Madrid de los Austrias or the force of

Guernica

, now seasoned with the display of Christmas lights, have achieved the perfect storm:

a true set for Instagram lovers

.

Giant ball in the Metropolis building.JAVIER BARBANCHO

You no longer need to climb the Eiffel Tower to show off on vacation.

In less than a square kilometer

, the center of Madrid offers some of the most

instagrammable

places of the moment; ideal for a sweetened couple photo, for

a

selfie

at the doors of Hermès

-if we buy or not, what difference does it make-, for a video congratulating the New Year to relatives who die of envy on the other side of the pond.

The giant Menina of the Plaza de Colón

(12 meters in diameter, 37,000 bulbs),

the 3D ball of the Metropolis building

, the impressive door of the Four Seasons,

the Plaza de España and the Puerta del Sol

are the new atlas of this Madrid 5.0 .

THE GATE OF THE SUN, WITH GRAPES OR WITHOUT THEM

Many are the attractions of the most central square in Madrid.

Next to kilometer 0, the sign of Tío Pepe or the Apple store stands proudly the statue of the Bear and the Strawberry Tree, one of the emblems of the city since its placement in Sol in 1967.

A BALL FROM ANOTHER PLANET

This giant sphere located between Alcalá and Gran Vía -measures 12 meters in diameter and is the star of the City Hall's Christmas lights- synchronizes light and sound in a 'pixel mapping' show that is reproduced in a loop.

Does anyone give more?

A FIR TREE IN THE STEPS OF MANHATTAN

After the remodeling of the Plaza de España, one of the attractions of these festivities was the installation of a Christmas tree in the purest 'Rockefeller Center style'.

Globalization was this.

NEVER MISS THE 'DELUXE' TOUCH

The recently opened Centro Canalejas, which houses the Four Seassons hotel, takes luxury to another dimension.

Nothing better than a 'selfie' in your main entrance to show off on Instagram.
