Choose a holiday apartment in Madrid Gran ViaThe Gran Via is an excellent area to consider when looking for a short term rental apartment in Madrid. Situated in the very center of the city, and often called "the Spanish Broadway", Gran Via offers everything the visitor to Madrid could wish. The fashionable street with its central location is a great starting point for tours anywhere in the city. Gran Via itself is known as the premier shopping street in Madrid. The many restaurants, numerous theaters and exquisite buildings make Gran Via accommodation highly desirable.The Gran Via begins at the Calle de Alcala and ends at the Plaza de Espana, that grand square in the heart of the city. Built entirely between 1907 and 1929, the street is a comparatively recent part of the historic city of Madrid. These modern origins explain La Gran Via's fame as a showcase of early 20th century architecture. The street is rich with elaborate structures and striking Art Deco buildings. Visitors staying in an apartment close to Gran Via can stroll its sidewalks to find landmarks like the ornately beautiful Edificio Metropolis or the Telefonica Building, Europe's first skyscraper. Farther along the Gran Via, The Plaza del Callao is a small square famous for its theatres. The entire street abounds with shops, restaurants and cafes, and ends in a large park-like square. Plaza de Espana, with its greenery and splashing fountain, is the perfect spot to relax. It's the home of Madrid's famous monument to Cervantes, where tourists love to pose for photographs with statues of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza with his mule. Gran Via apartments are close to a variety of great dining. Lhardy, one of Madrid's most respected restaurants since 1839, is as well-known for its atmosphere and six elegant dining rooms as its traditional Spanish food. El Bocaito features a bullfighting theme and offers a variety of tapas and fine Andalusian and Castilian meals. At Artemisa II, the specialty is vegetarian dining and an impressive wine list. Considering all that Gran Via has to offer, there's no question that it's a prime location for holiday apartments in Madrid. |
