Madrid has many Irish pubs, just as you’d expect from any city these days. This particular one claims to be the smallest Irish pub in town. It was closed when I came across it so I can’t tell you anything about the atmosphere or the libations, but I can show you its beautiful facade.
Its outer walls are covered with ceramic murals, depicting rather romantic views of the months of the year.
La Fontanilla, Plaza Puerta Cerrada at junction with Calle Cuchileros.

Beautiful murals.

December seems rather forlorn and lost. The shadows add an ominous touch. Well captured. Thanks for contributing to this week’s Monday Mural.

Yes the blues and shadows capture the Madrid winter well.

Who needs to go inside with a facade like that? You could stand there and admire the outside for hours!

I think that the murals were there before it was an irish pub but nice it is.

Ah yes, I forgot you spent party time there! When I arrived at 1 a.m. on St Patrick’s Night there were still huge crowds on the street outside the James Joyce.

I didn’t realise you were studying too. Well done! My student days were a bit quieter but I see that students these days manage to study and party!

These look fantastic and I am sure the welcome inside would have been terrific, being Irish!
