The 100-year-old avenue offers a variety of flashingly lit shops, bars, classic cinemas and theaters. The towering buildings are an excellent place for a number of roof terraces with beautiful views

The centennial Gran Vía is one of the main arteries of the city and one of its most emblematic avenues. Its creation, between 1910 and 1931, marked the beginning of the modernization of the city with the construction of the first skyscrapers in the country and the incursion of the architectural currents of the moment from the United States.

Large boulevard with many restaurants and shops. You can get a spectacular view from the RIU Hotel Plaza Espana. The bar and restaurant are on the 27th/28th floor. The two glass balconies are a bit of a thrill, but they are definitely great for taking photos.
