Madrid's streets were left badly congested on Sunday, as more than 2,000 sheep passed through its city centre for an annual event. 

The annual festival that started in 1994 sees a nominal fee is paid in exchange for the safe passage of the animals, in a ceremony between the mayor and the chief herdsman at the city hall. 

It honours a 1418 agreement with the city's council where the price of 50 coins per thousand heads of livestock was set for the animal traffic.
