[🇪🇸Madrid] A walk through Madrid, full of Spanish charm

The vibrant streets of Madrid

Madrid, the capital of Spain, is an attractive city where historical buildings and modern streets blend together. Just by walking, you can feel the culture and history of Spain. As you walk along the European-style cobblestone streets, you will find magnificent architecture, lively squares, and delicious cuisine.

Famous Squares in Madrid

When it comes to the most representative squares in Madrid, the first one to come to mind is Plaza Mayor. Built in the 17th century, this square is surrounded by beautiful buildings and has an equestrian statue of King Felipe III in the center. There are cafes and restaurants lined up around it, making it the perfect place to relax while enjoying traditional Spanish cuisine.

Another must-see is Puerta del Sol. This square can be said to be the center of Madrid, and is also known for the famous "Bear and Madrono Statue" and the "Zero Kilometer" sign, which marks the starting point of Spanish roads. It is also famous as a spot where many people gather at the New Year's countdown, especially at the end of the year.

Touring Madrid's Markets

One of the attractions of Spain is its delicious food culture. Markets are a great place to enjoy local ingredients and gourmet food.

We especially recommend the San Miguel Market. This market is popular with tourists, and its appeal is that you can enjoy small portions of fresh tapas, seafood, Iberico ham, and more. In a lively atmosphere, you can enjoy Spanish flavors with wine or cava (Spanish sparkling wine).

We also recommend the San Antón Market, which is popular with locals. This is a relatively modern market, with fresh ingredients sold on the first floor and a food court-like area on the second floor, where you can casually enjoy Spanish cuisine.

Summary

Madrid is a city where you can enjoy yourself to the fullest just by walking around the beautiful streets and touring the historic squares and markets. Feel the history at Plaza Mayor, stand in the center of the city at Puerta del Sol, and taste Spanish delicacies at the market...enjoy a stroll around the city that is unique to Madrid.
