In Madrid the royal guards parade in the palace yard in striking uniforms of red and blue, with infantry, artillery, and hussars facing off at 10 o’clock. Crowds, including visitors from the provinces, watch as bayonets flash and bands play martial airs while peanuts and rolls vendors move among families.
