  "account": "Madrid is attracting more and more people during the month of August, as evidenced by Sandra Ortiz, a 32-year-old administrative worker who decided to spend the entire month there. For Ortiz, the main reason is the nightly festivities of La Paloma, featuring churros, concerts (this year including Celtas Cortos, Miss Caffeina, and The Refrescos, among numerous others), galloping races, and side street events in La Paja Square. She also highlights zarzuelas at Arturo Barea Square during San Lorenzo celebrations, daytime excursions for swimming in the waters of Las Presillas or the San Juan Pantanal beach, outdoor cinema in the Third Deposit park (she will enjoy, if she remembers, to see \"the last comedy by Gomez Pereira\"), classical music concerts under century-old trees in the Castillejos Olivar park, the final days the karting circuit at the Ice Palace will remain open, and late afternoon walks through a less crowded park in Retiro.",
