I drove to Madrid to attend the march, and while on road I had to overtakes lots of coaches and private cars going from Valencia to Madrid. Something extremely unusual for a hot June Saturday, when people drive in the opposite direction, away from Madrid and towards the coastal areas.

When I arrived in Madrid at around 12.30pm, it was 38ºC outside the car!!! People came from many parts of Spain, and even other parts of Europe. I could see in front of us a French three colour flag with the sacre coeur in the middle of it.

Lots of young, middle-aged, and elder couples, many with young children. Lots of yound people too. Unlike the gay and/or leftist marches, it was so civilized and clean.

No matter what will be next, I, as a Spaniard, am so very proud of all those people. They stood there despite the harsh and dry temperatures of Madrid, so many had arrived from far away. It was really nice to see all those people, so nice, such a good feeling among all of them. Those little children sitting on the floor while their parents stood next to them, waiting for the march to start moving... which it did not because the streets marked by the governmen for the march were completely packed from one end to the other.

When the header of the the March was already in Puerta del Sol, the end of it, I looked down the street (Calle de Alcalá, one of the widest in Madrid) and it was full to the last centimeter, and then down to Plaza (square) de la Cibeles, which was full too and people even spread into the Castellana avenue, and further down the street completely full, down to Puerta de Alcalá, another square, also full to the last centimeter. Someone told me that there were people beyond that last square, and I witnessed that there were many people in the adjacent streets.

Yes, the organizers gave a rough number of 1.5 million people, whereas the official figures were of... 166,000!!! From what I saw, 1.5 million is more exact, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were more people than that.

The government, as expected, did as much as it could to avoid the success. When they had failed at it, they resorted to their usual last argument, lying. They are so acccustomed to it that their lies are no longer small to medium.. as you can all see.

Some coaches coming from the west into Madrid were diverted by the police to Toledo. They had done that in the previous march. The streets that the march organizers had been given at first for the march, were then changed and given, instead to a distasteful carnival organized with some sort of ape-like brazilian singing and dancing. A friend of mine went to a policeman to ask him what the approximate number of people had been, just after the march, and she only go a rude, stupid and arrogant answer from him. She tackled him and gave him an excellent answer in return. Even the other policemen laughed at him. Good girl!

For this kind of events, there are always a number of paramedic hot spots spread along the area for the march, especially with such high temperatures. I saw none. I asked some peple from the organisation for the paramedics, they told me that there were a few "mobile" units, and asked if we needed medical help. I said no, but what if we did... they shrugged.

For the carnival, who were people mostly dressed with shorts and tshirts to nothing, the fire brigade was deployed with water cannons to refresh them. Nothing for us. Only the implacable sun of the Castilian high plateau, and a strong will to stay. Who cares about the many children, or elder people like my mother and her friends who don't go naked like apes but decently dressed.

After the march, we went for some drinks with some fellows from Barcelona, Madrid and other parts of Spain. Nice and refreshing.
At night, the wide avenue Paseo de la Castellana was blocked by some fourty degenerated sodomites. I tried to cross with my car but the metropolitan police stopped me. Though I knew that the government had made public that the police forces would watch out for any "offensive" words against "gays", I asked him why did they not remove the "maricones" (faggots, though offensive it is in the dictionary of the Royal Academy). The policeman smiled, shrugged, and told me that they were only 4. Ha! How come they are never 4 when it is us? The road where they were was full of dirt... plastic glasses and other filth on the middle of the road.

All people who attended have my full respect, and I would also like to thank here those non Spaniards who came to support the march from lands far afield. June 18, to me, should be remembered as the day of the family.

I'll hang some photos after I have masked some faces.
