Central and bustling, the Puerta del Sol square is one of the emblems of Madrid. In its semicircular plan, several of the city's historic and busiest streets converge, such as Mayor, Arenal, Alcalá or Preciados, and concentrates several of the most representative elements of this city.
One of them is the famous clock of the Casa de Correos, headquarters of the Community of Madrid, which every December 31 marks the twelve strokes of the new year before a crowd that gathers at its feet, to drink the twelve traditional grapes in a ceremony that is broadcast on television to millions of Spaniards.

La Puerta del Sol, or 'Sol' for short, is the heart of the city. Here it is busy with shoppers, business people, street performers and tourists.
On the square you will find Kilometro Cero, the zero point of Spain. From here all distances in the country are measured.
Sol is best known to Spaniards for the thousands of partygoers who gather here on December 31 to celebrate New Year's Eve.
