Ever since I saw the animated British fetish Emma, which depicts 19th-century London life, I have been full of romantic fantasies about the architecture of Crystal Palace, which was destroyed in a fire in the early 20th century and was never able to see it again. Madrid's Crystal Palace, although much smaller, still feels romantic and beautiful, like entering the elegant Victorian period. There are a pair of beautiful black swans in the small lake at the entrance of the Crystal Palace, and many water birds playing.
