101 reviews of Plaza de España

Meeting point

Plaza de España in Madrid is one of the entrance gates to the historical center. From there, one can quickly access one of the main arteries of the city: Gran Vía, Princesa street, Ferraz street...

It is a charming place thanks to the park that looks like an oasis in the middle of an always lively and busy city, with people, cars, life... Very well communicated and another great meeting point of locals and tourists.

Cervantes' square

Excellent

Plaza de España in Madrid is, already with the name, one of the most important squares in the country. Real symbol of Madrid, it is located at one end of Gran Vía and Princesa street, near the Temple of Debod.

Surrounded by historical buildings, like the tower of Madrid, the Edificio España and Casa Gallardo, it represents a green space in the center of the city.

The first building dates back to 1911. A highlight is definitely the monument to Miguel de Cervantes. At the feet of the great obelisc, with the earth globe on the top, we can see the bronze statues of Don Quijote and Sancho Panza, mounted on their respective steed. Their creator, Cervantes, observes them from his granite armchair. Behind everything there is also another fountain.

Epicenter

Great

Plaza de España is like the epicenter of all days and nights in Madrid: everything starts and ends there. Be it laying down on the grass at the feet of the skyscrapers (it is not strange to see some people sunbathing), having a picnic with food bought from the Chinese of the parking (a must), having something before going in one of the clubs around or going out of them and stay on the square to have breakfast. There is always something to do on the square.

The beautiful part is the Don Quijote statue and the small lake. And crossing the street to go to the Temple of Debod of course.
