Spain https://journals.worldnomads.com/anhtunguyenphotography/ Tue, 14 Apr 2026 19:16:23 GMT World Nomads Adventures I visited Spain in 2011. Besides the beautiful landscape, there were a lots of issues that the spanish government have to resolve. Corruption, inflation, the gap between the rich people and poor people, high unemployment rate.... With tents, mattresses, sleeping bags, a kitchen, a market, and even a pharmacy.... a protest camp in Madrid grew into a real 'urban village' for thousands of young people in Puerta del Sol square. I was both surprised and impressed to see so many protesters gathered in this famous place. They were protesting against politicians, bankers and authorities' handling of the economic crisis. They said: 'We'll have to pay for something we have not created." It was young people that started all this, but then lots of others joined in — people who felt that something had to happen. The protests began on May 15th and they left here after three weeks. https://journals.worldnomads.com/anhtunguyenphotography/photos/42178/Spain/Spain-2011 Travel Spain anhtunguyenphotography https://journals.worldnomads.com/anhtunguyenphotography/photos/42178/Spain/Spain-2011#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/anhtunguyenphotography/photos/42178/Spain/Spain-2011 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 04:34:00 GMT 0
