The 1920s <\/strong>was a time when the Madrile\u00f1os were trying to put behind the First World War whilst looking to the future with hope<\/strong>. In those days, in the capital city, 8.000 vehicles were on the roads<\/strong> as well as hundreds of trams<\/strong> and had a population of 800.000 inhabitants<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The horror of the war had to be forgotten<\/strong> and there was a need to focus on scientific and technological development <\/strong>in order to be able to live through better times. Leisure was valued and appreciated more than ever and the theatres, cinemas and caf\u00e9s in Madrid<\/strong> contributed towards its success, some of them even providing 24-hour service. People wanted to have fun and make up for the time lost due to the war. Those days enjoyed relative prosperity and were known as the roaring 20s <\/strong>due to a more or less peaceful and optimistic period<\/strong> where a certain bonanza and well-being took place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dreams were in the air as well as brimming vitality: everybody wanted to make a fresh start in order to live a new era<\/strong> which resulted in parties that stirred up the city with joy and enthusiasm<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what was Madrid like in the 1920s<\/strong>? Thanks to these valuable photographs that we are sharing with you, we can get an idea of what Madrid was like just a century ago<\/strong>. How much have things changed in a hundred years? We invite you to come with us and visit Madrid in the 1920s<\/strong> in our section <\/a>A Walk into the Past<\/a><\/strong>, where our last article was about <\/a>Paseo de Recoletos<\/a><\/strong>.

A BREATHTAKING MADRID<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1920, the underground in Madrid had started to exist only a year before<\/strong> and had just one metro line, Subway 1 Line<\/strong>. Those were times of cinemas and theatres<\/strong>: Cine Encomienda<\/strong> (Calle Encomienda), Cine Dor\u00e9<\/strong> (Calle Santa Isabel), Cine de la Prensa<\/strong> and Palacio de la M\u00fasica<\/strong> (Gran V\u00eda). Also, Teatro de la Latina<\/strong> (La Latina), Teatro Progreso<\/strong> (Tirso de Molina), and Teatro Novedades<\/strong> (Calle Toledo). All of them were the favourite places of entertainment for the people of Madrid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We can say that in those years the pictures, art, fashion and music changed fast<\/strong> and this gave the city a spirit of effervescence. Little by little women started to enter the labour market<\/strong>; they had their hair cut in gar\u00e7onne style, they shortened their skirts and wore new articles of clothing such as feather boas, hairnets and headdresses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The radio and the gramophones<\/strong> came along as well as tabletop telephones<\/strong>; the caf\u00e9s set the pace of new rhythms which made Madrid sound futuristic<\/strong> and where everything changed at a frantic speed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes , the Madrile\u00f1os had the impression that they were running out of breath as they had to assimilate technological changes and developments without having hardly any reaction time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
