Located in the center of the Plaza de la Independencia, the Puerta de Alcalá is one of the five old royal gates that gave access to the city, built by order of Carlos III to replace a previous one dating from the 16th century. This monumental gate, inaugurated in 1778, is located next to the Retiro Park and in it, prominent streets such as Alcalá, Alfonso XII or Serrano converge, and constitutes one of the tourist icons of Madrid.

Calle Alcala used to be the road to Alcala de Henares, an old university town about 30 kilometers from Madrid.
Halfway up is Puerta de Alcala, the former city gate. This 5-arch building was designed by Francisco Sabatini and is one of the most famous monuments in Madrid.

Madrid has so much to offer, I was cycling on the Way of St. James and unfortunately had only one day time with a city tour
