What can I do here?
Grab your blanket, grab a book and head to Parque del Oeste…
It's a gorgeous green park. People of all ages gather here. Some to run, some to read, some to play guitar and sing.
Wander the park, and you will discover an old Egyptian temple called Temple of Debod. It was built 2,200 years ago in honour of the god Amun-Ra. Once it lay on the banks of the Nile, now it rests in Madrid.
Gran Vía is the Spanish Broadway…
Locals call it "the street that never sleeps."
Theatres, cinemas, nightclubs, shops, bars and restaurants, you can find them all here.
Lope de Vega hosts the mega-hit The Lion King. The Palacio Real (Royal Palace) and the Teatro Real (Opera House) are also near.
Hungry?...
This is a secret. (Was a secret.) Behind Gran Vía, you can find a street called Travesía Parada. Go to number 4. It's a bar called Padrao. Quality tapas. Quality prices. Bocadillos de Jamón...
