Madrid Meetup at Madrid by luison on EyeEm

Here’s a brief recap from luison, who organized the meetup:

Last Saturday 15th we met 12 people at Plaza Tirso de Molina. We were not all from Madrid. Two guys came from Berlin, another guy had come from Bilbao to Madrid for the weekend, and there was a Mexican guy living in Madrid for the past nine months.
After explaining the route for the photowalk and where to upload the photos, we split and each one, or each couple took his/her own way. After an hour and a half, we met again and went to Café Alma to have some drinks while editing and uploading the photos to EyeEm.
We had a great time. The people who came were very nice. We had some beers, while listening to jazz music and chatting. We ended up with a video conference with Carol and the people in Barcelona, to choose what we considered the best pic uploaded by them, and them the best pic uploaded by us. Each city winner was awarded with one an EyeEm t-shirt.
After that, each one went away, desiring to repeat the experience soon. I think everyone did really enjoy the meetup, and I am personally looking forward to the next one.

Thanks to Luishankara, Max Adam, Rob, Isabel Cruz, Fotosensible, Cbas28, Filmatu, Roptop, Eli Kröll, Leila, and Jorge. And special thanks to luison for organizing a brilliant meetup!
