Canovas Del Castillo Square

  Canovas Del Castillo Square lies at the intersection of Recoletos and Villanueva streets in the upscale Salamanca district of Madrid. Dating back to the late 19th century, this square features a notable fountain dedicated to José Canovas del Castillo, who played a significant role in Spain's political history. The main attraction here is the elegant fuente, surrounded by manicured gardens and benches, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Particularly vibrant in spring, especially in May when flowers bloom, the square offers a delightful setting for leisurely strolls or casual gatherings. Visitors can take in the surrounding historical buildings and perhaps enjoy a coffee at one of the nearby cafés while soaking up the local culture.
