Love those leaned towers, I know them as Puerta De Europa or something like that! They are building something similar, but I thing a lot bigger in Beijing!
Yes, you're right, Bogdan Alexandru, they can either be called Torres Kio or Torres Puerta de Europa ;)
Wow, amazing city! I love Spain!

:eek2: What incredible photos . One of my fav parts of Madrid is the walk from Puerta del Sol thru C/ Alcala up to Cibeles . With a stop on the corner to view La Gran Via . This must be one the the most spectacular stretches of any street anywhere in the world .

Also around palacio Real :eek2:

And hows the Plaza mayor ? Absolutely awesome .

Lavapies for the incredible variety of restaurants , tapas etc......

Parque del Retiro must vie to be the most beautiful park in Europe .

The museums .

Un-equalled nightlife .

Some of Europes most awesome and historical cities surrounding Madrid . I.e Avila , Segovia , Toledo , Escorial etc.... And Especially Salamanca . Regarded by many to be the most beautiful sandstone buildings city in the world .

Footballs greatest club . Atletico oops i mean Real Madrid :lol:

Just hate those damn commie blocks :bash:

I totally agree, some of my favourite walks are:

· Puerta del Sol to Banco de España (or Cibeles)
· Plaza de España, all the way through Gran Vía, to Banco de España (or Cibeles)
Sergio, your pix are amazing.

Madrid has one of the best avenue of museums of the world. Lovers of art gather there to see pieces of all times and all styles. The museums have been recently extended.
