Aside from the banks, which look closed but are open behind the metal protecting the windows, you can see you are in a special city when you come across an Ex-Harrod’s totally shut down in the main pedestrian zone.
Yes, there was a Harrod’s here, don’t ask me since when, but it did shut down before the crisis, and after the war. Anyway, it’s a nice building and it’s still empty.
I would smile if they could reconvert it into a “Casa de los Artesanos” or something
like that, with small stores selling handicraft goods.
It would make a fun contrast with the one in Knightsbridge…
