Loads of tricks have been shared about how to get the perfect multiple exposure shot. Which is why I won't focus so much on how, but rather on where and what camera to use. I will show you my favorite place to take my Holga out of my bag, trip the shutter as often as I like, and don't move on to the next frame until I feel like it.

This former entrance gate to Madrid still exudes the splendor and grandeur of neo-classical times. I must have passed a thousand times underneath this magnificent monument, and it is worth every picture I have ever taken of it!

Let me take you on a short walk trough Retiro Park in Madrid and introduce my favorite places.

Wandering around the streets of my home, Ciudad Real, I found this little women's vintage style clothes and accessories shop, and I have to say, it's really worth a look.
-
The Jerte Valley in Spain is one of the most beautiful places to experience the awakening of nature after a cold hard winter. The start of spring lets you admire a very magical spectacle: the blossoming cherry trees.

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, there's so many things that we can actually talk about this delicious dessert but for Christmastime let's focus on one of our favorite ways of enjoying it - hot chocolate. I gathered some images taken in Spain which best showcase this popular holiday drink.

My Holga camera has just turned six months old! So what better gift than an article on Madrid with photos from my Holga (although some of my other cameras also contributed to this post) to boot. Come, and take a look! :)

If you ever go to Madrid try to discover what the Torres Kio look like. Maybe there are better places in Madrid to visit but this place is quite important to me as every time I have to be in Madrid for work I stay in one of the hotels near that place.

The Labyrnth of Horta is the oldest park in the the city of Barcelona. Its labyrinth, gardens, terraces, springs and statues just complement its historical value and mysterious ambient. Right in the outskirts of Barcelona the park offers an excellent alternative when you are looking for an escape of the city and its complications.

Salamanca is a wonderful city in the northwest of Spain. It does not have a beach, but it's really amazing and its golden light is wonderful. I invite you to walk the streets of this amazing city the next time you find yourself in Spain! You won't regret it!

The traditional way to spend spring afternoons in Madrid is to head out to Parque del Retiro on a Sunday and just relax. A picnic on the grass and a walk close to the lake; seeing the boats rowing in the pond, fortunetellers predicting the future, "alive statues", performances, mariachis and magic bubbles paint a pretty portrait of just a regular weekend afternoon in this place.

If you're one of those people who has ever dreamed of flying over the blue skies of Madrid like a bird of prey and being able to photograph the city from above, but can't seem to levitate yourself even one millimeter off the ground (even after you've put on your cape and worn your underwear over your jeans), then you should take your Lomo camera and take a ride on the Madrid cableway.

Yellow and windy is the place I like.

I can't help it. It's the worst of my vices. A compulsion, an irresistible and unstoppable passion - and an expensive one. I've suffered from it since I was 14 or 15 and it's never left me. I'm talking about bookshops. I am drawn to them like a magnet. I can spend hours (and I mean "hours" literally) sniffin', browsin', readin' some pages or dreamin' awake in one of them.

Train Stations, why do we like them now that we can already travel by plane?
-
If you are lucky enough, in your next trip to Madrid you will land in the new Barajas´Airport terminal. The T4 was inaugurated in February 2006 and a few months later it received the RIBA Sterling Award, one of the most prestigious architecture prizes worldwide.

Madrid is an incredible city to lomograph from top to bottom. What usually happens is that we analogically reproduce reality from our own point of view, that of a pedestrian on foot. But the city is much more than that. For example, all the magnificent views on offer are from all its buildings and parks. A good way to spend a roll of film is to go up to the terrace in the Circulo de Bellas Artes (CBA).

La Mallorquina is one of the oldest cafés and bakeries in Madrid. It was founded in 1894 and has only changed owners once ever since, when the founder´s family sold it during the Spanish Civil War. It is located at the very heart of Madrid: between la Calle Mayor and la Puerta del Sol and it’s been the meeting point of the Madrileños for more than a century.
