An amorous couple stop traffic in Madrid’s busiest street with this display of passion that provided some unexpected entertainment for tourists and locals.
The randy pair unleashed their passion after checking into a first-floor hotel room on the Spanish capital’s famous Gran Via - but were caught out because the light was on and there was no curtain.
The silhouetted show, which took place on Sunday evening at a hotel identified locally as the four-star Vincii Capitol, was going viral today after footage was posted online.
The shocked onlookers included English-speaking tourists who joined locals packing the pavement opposite to watch the X-rated action, and even a bicycle-riding food delivery driver caught gawping with his bag on his back.
One Spanish TV reporter commenting on the spectacle, in a street home to clothes stores, restaurants and theatres but also cinemas which traditionally premiere films, joked in a reference to the hit 2015 erotic romantic drama film Fifty Shades of Grey: “They sent thetemperature of the capital’s main arterial road soaring through their indiscreet window.
“No-one wanted to miss what was going on and everyone stopped to have a look at the hot show, even food delivery riders whose customers may well have got cold meals.
“Fifty shades weren’t needed, just two.”
It was initially reported the mystery couple had forgotten to draw the curtains, although it later emerged they had got intimate in the bathroom where the window is “translucent.”
Joaquin Prat, host of a popular lunchtime programme called Ya es Mediodia on Spain’s Telecinco channel, said: “They obviously got horny and forgot to draw the curtains and what should have been a private intimate moment became a public show.”
But reporter Lucia Nunez, dispatched to the spot where dozens of onlookers were given a Sunday evening to remember for a live broadcast 48 hours later, told viewers: “We’re in Madrid’s busiest street and we’ve solved the question of why the curtains weren’t drawn.
“That’s because on the first floor of the building which is a hotel the window you’re seeing now where those shadows were moving has translucent glass and it’s the bathroom.
“Those windows are by the shower and have no curtains and that’s why people could see everything that has going on from the Gran Via and the footage has been watched millions of times online.”
The revelation left the presenter and colleagues back in the studio unclear as to whether it would be the last time someone’s private moment could become more public than they’d intended, with one asking: “Does that mean then that everyone sees you when you’re having a shower?”
