Madrid Night Serenos Guard City Doors and Lives
Madrid reports on the serenos, 1500 night watchmen who guard doors from 11 pm to dawn, collect tips, and keep order. They open front doors, patrol districts, and assist the sick while sometimes earning 2000 to 6000 pesetas monthly, with elite positions rivaling government officials. The role traces to feudal watchmen and remains hereditary in many families.
