¡Limpiezas! The Cleaners

One thing I can say for sure about Madrid is that it is a very clean city and the Madridleños are fanatical about keeping things clean. Throughout my time there I noticed a limpieza on almost every block it seemed like, always dressed in bright fluorescent green outfits with reflective stripes around their pant legs....immediately after the parade ended a whole army of cleaner showed up with an array of vehicles and machines cleaning up the the parade waste/paper/confetti in a very methodical way. Within an hour the place looked like new. It was very impressive.
