Puerta del Sol is the heart of the Spanish capital. it’s the meeting place for people setting off for the city life. you can set off for sight seeing or get refreshed by a glass of beer and small dips called tapas. if you’re lucky and you’ll get a chance to witness celebrating Spanish holidays in the street. especially memorable in Madrid is the day of San Isidro, the patron of the city. on that day there are ceremonies in the city, live music, people dancing in the streets. just catch up the tune and join them.

Things I recommend in Madrid

• don’t miss out to visit a cervecería and get some tapas
• the famous galleries (Reina Sofía, Thyssen-Bornemisza)

and if you have more time

• take a train to visit Toledo
