shopping.

MECCA OF ENTERTAINMENT
As a keen explorer of Madrid’s
vibrant Gran Via, I must say it’s a
bustling hub that captivates both
locals and visitors alike. It’s like
the Spanish capital’s version of
Oxford Street, Piccadilly Circus,
and Broadway combined.
A delightful starting point is
Puerta Del Sol Plaza, a central
spot in Madrid that branches out
to various iconic landmarks,
brimming with charming shops
and cosy cafes.
Strolling through the lively
streets and boulevards stemming
from the plaza is an absolute
delight. Along this bustling street,
you will discover El Corte Ingles,
Madrid’s renowned shopping
destination offering a diverse
range of fashion, beauty products,
and electronics.
