Basically because Madrid is such a big city, fiestas like San Isidro kind of get absorbed and lost among buildings, endless neighborhoods and just the busy lives of millions of urban dwellers; which is not to say that the inhabitants don’t feel an affinity for the day or its honoree. In my humble opinion, this is Madrid’s most important fiesta, and though you won’t find widespread celebrations, there are plenty of traditions that keep it alive and healthy…I will get to them throughout the next day or two…stay tuned.
