Spain Square

  Spain Square, or Plaza de España, is a prominent square in the heart of Madrid, nestled between the bustling Gran Vía and the serene Parque de la Montaña. Built in 1929, the square features a notable monument dedicated to the Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes, which showcases statues of both Cervantes and his famous characters, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. The square serves as a vibrant hub for tourists and locals alike, often bustling with street performers and vendors. In the spring months of April and May, visitors can enjoy the square's well-maintained gardens, which bloom with seasonal flowers, creating a picturesque setting for leisurely walks. Besides taking in the architecture, visitors can relax on the stone benches or take photos with the large fountains that adorn the area.
