  • Summary

  • Join me for a rainy day stroll along what is probably Madrid's most iconic street. We start off at the bottom end of Gran Vía where it joins Calle Alcalá and follow its 1.3 kilometres all the way to Plaza de España. Forget chain stores, hotels, and touristy restaurants! Along the way we'll take in the street's most famous buildings and landmarks and explore the fascinating stories behind them. Think clocks, bombs, cocktails, neon lights, theatres, skyscrapers, and a Phoenix. Locations: Edificio Metrópolis Edificio Grassy Museo Chicote Gran Via metro station Edificio Telefónica Almacenes Madrid-Paris (Now Primark) Schweppes neon advertisement Edificio Carrión/Edificio Capitol Cines Callao Palacio de la Prensa Various Theatres Edificio de España/Riu Hotel Torre de Madrid Plaza de España Monumento a Cervantes El edificio de la Real Compañía Asturiana de Minas Casa Gallardo
