IN PICS: Madrid shrouded in fog as rare pea-souper descends on Spain's capital

It’s not often Madrid sees such a phenomenon but on Tuesday night Spain’s capital was shrouded in dense fog giving the streets and iconic buildings a haunting atmosphere.
Madrileños shared their dramatic images of the pea-souper night on social media.
Here’s a selection of the best:
The Almudena Cathedral and Real Palace looked hauntingly beautiful in the diffused light.

Puerta del Sol:
Looking up the Gran Via from a rooftop on Plaza de España provided a view more reminiscent of London than Madrid.
The view from Madrid's four towers was quite spectacular:

The fog, known as 'niebla' in Spanish, gave a spookiness to the streets of La Latina.
