Join me for a rainy day stroll along what is probably Madrid’s 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.
