Gran Via, Madrid

The one street you shouldn’t miss on your trip to Madrid is the Gran Via, a showcase of early 20th century architecture. The lively street is one of the city’s most important shopping areas. It also contains a large number of hotels and large movie theaters. But what makes this street so special it the architectural design of many of the large buildings. While walking through this crowded street make sure you look up once in a while and admire the often lavishly decorated grand ’edificios’.
