M m dimy sir. In Alcalá street there was once a man who waited
for his love sitting on a wooden bench next to the Quintana Metro in Madrid
' s Alcala street. Then, the days without fail sat at the same
bank and patiently waited for her to return. But one day something strange happened.
His love was lost on Alcala Street and he never came back. The
lord was disturbed by the loss and continued to sit on the same bench,
waiting and waiting. Day after day. People passing by Alcalá street began to
notice the gentleman sitting on the bench day after day, and some even began
to worry about him. But he never talked to anyone. He simply sat
there looking towards the horizon with a sad expression on his face. Over time,
the lord began to show signs of aging, but still, he never
stopped waiting for his love. On the same wooden bench next to the quintana
metro, people began to call him the bank man and his story became an
urban legend on Alcalá Street. Although it was never known that his love happened
to him, the lord continued to sit on his bench until the end of
his days and though he never found the peace or happiness that his love for
her longed for, he never faded away and his story became an inspiration for
those who passed by Alcalá street and saw him sitting there waiting. Actor José
