This was part of A day in Madrid 🇪🇸.
I was reached Plaza del Callao to join the Free Walking Tour in Madrid at 3:00 PM. We started our walk towards Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales and learnt about the history of Spain and Madrid.
We passed by the Teatro Real on the way to Plaza de Oriente and saw the Monumento a Felipe IV.
Next we walked to Plaza de la ArmerÃa and got some time to see the Palacio Real de Madrid and Catedral de Santa MarÃa la Real de la Almudena.
We passed the Iglesia Catedral de las Fuerzas Armadas on our way to Plaza de la Villa and saw the Casa de La Villa and Torre de los Lujanes.
On our way to Plaza Mayor, our guide told us about Sobrino de BotÃn Spanish restaurant, the oldest restaurant in the world in continuous operation, according to the Guinness Book of Records.
From Plaza Mayor we passed the Fuente de la Plaza Pontejos, a drinking water fountain and then saw the famous symbol of Madrid, Bear & Strawberry Tree at Puerta del Sol.
We then reached Plaza de Santa Ana and saw the Monument of Calderon de la Barca and Teatro Español. The last stop was Plaza de las Cortes and saw the Congress of Deputies.
This was a nice afternoon/evening walk through Madrid and there’s much more to see when you have more time.
