Lovely square in Central Madrid However there is currently a huge refurbishment programme being undertaken and so lots of building works , noise and disruption.

This is a hectic and central square in Madrid, oddly shaped as a crescent. The square was unbearable to visit during Christmas and New Year's Eve, as there were simply too many people there.

Love Puerta Del Sol for its architecture, the buildings, the people, the giant Christmas tree they put up during the holiday season, and it being at the Sol metro station along with being close to Plaza Mayor and Calle de Preciados. Has various shops and businesses for Spanish citizens and tourists alike. Definitely a must visit for anyone in Madrid.

Lovely views of the city, can get super crowded as the day goes by. Plenty of restaurants along the way and definitely a good positive energy around!
