Gran Via is one of Madrid's most iconic and bustling streets, renowned for its vibrant atmosphere and architectural splendor. Its construction began in 1910 and was completed in 1929, aiming to modernize the city and improve traffic flow. Often compared to Broadway in New York due to its array of theaters, cinemas, and grand buildings, Gran Via has become a cultural and commercial hub. The street stretches from Calle de Alcalá to Plaza de España and showcases a mix of architectural styles, including Art Deco, Vienna Secession, and eclectic designs. Key landmarks include the Telefónica Building, which was once the tallest skyscraper in Europe, and the Edificio Metropolis with its stunning Beaux-Arts dome. Gran Via is also famous for its vibrant nightlife, luxury shopping, and excellent dining options, making it a must-visit destination for tourists.
