Madrid Things To Do: Spanish for "The Gate of the Sun," this plaza is one of the most popular in all of Madrid. A ceremonial belltower rings in the New Year here, and the area was formerly a gate in the wall that used to protect the city.
Around the plaza are fountains, famous buildings and sculptures. Located between several of Madrid's busy neighborhoods, the Puerta del Sol is a perfect place to begin exploring the city from. |
