The Gran Vía apartment is located near the metros stations of Gran Vía and Puerta del Sol, at the geographical and social heart of Madrid.
The district
The Sol district is the heart of Madrid. The statue of the bear and the strawberry tree, which is the city’s emblem and is located in the Puerta del Sol, is the most common meeting point in the city for the citizens of Madrid and tourists alike. The three main pedestrianised shopping streets, namely Preciados, Carmen and Arenal, can be accessed from the Puerta del Sol. The main routes of Gran Vía (from which you can access the Plaza de España and the Plaza de Cibeles), and Calle Mayor, from which you can access the Plaza Mayor and the Royal Palace, also pass through the district. It is with the strikes of the clock situated in the Puerta del Sol that the citizens of Madrid bring in the New Year, eating the famous “lucky grapes” at midnight, one with each strike of the clock. The district has everything you might need, from restaurants and bars to every type of shop or activity, including language schools, banks, Bureau de Change etc. The museum triangle, containing the Prada, Reina Sofía and Thyssen Museums, is only 10mins away on foot.
You can find some of the most traditional restaurants in Madrid in the surrounding area, as well as many bars and nightclubs.
