Madrid, more tourist attractions than you imagine
Madrid, together with Barcelona, is the most
famous city in Spain, and also the capital of this amazing country. As the
capital, the things to do in there are almost endless and each one is more
interesting than the last one.
First of all, we will start talking about the
most interesting places in the city, places that you must visit if you travel
there. The first one is the Puerta del Sol, which is the most famous square in
Madrid. There, you will find the Kilometre Zero.
The next place of interest is
the Plaza Mayor, one of the oldest squares in Spain. What is more, you have to
visit the Gran Vía, the most famous street in the city, with its most important
theatres and cinemas.
Another place is El Retiro, a park where you will be able
to relax and to enjoy a day with your family. And finally, the last one of
these almost compulsory places to visit is the Puerta de Alcalá, one of the
most representative monuments in Madrid.
Perhaps those are the most interesting places.
However, there are three more places there that are worth the visit. Those are
the Plaza de Cibeles, the Real Palace and the Almudena Cathedral.
If you want to go out in the capital, the most
famous area within the tourists and the students is Huertas. This street is
full of bars and discos and it is very close to the Puerta del Sol.
Another main feature in Madrid is its
gastronomy. The most famous meals of the capital are squid sandwiches, patatas
bravas and Spanish omelette.
As you can see, Madrid is a big city with
plenty of things to do. If you travel there, you should take some days to enjoy
it and to visit as much things as you can. It is, for sure, a city that won’t
let you down.
