In the first he appears posing in front of the aforementioned statue in El Retiro, and in the second he is seen quietly having a beer at the door of a well-known bar in Chueca, together with several people who do not seem to notice that they are next to one of the the biggest rock stars on the planet.

For his part, Keith Richards has taken a solo photo at the Wanda Metropolitano stadium, showing a recorder that someone from his team bought him at the Rastro. “This Phillips tape recorder is the same one we first recorded on ‘Street Fighting Man.’ A member of our team found it at the Madrid flea market!
