A walk through the iconic grand boulevard – one of the most loved places in the city, Gran Via is where all tourists and shoppers meet. The construction began in 1910, and is now the leading shopping street of Madrid. This upscale market street houses some of the biggest names in the fashion industry.

The first thing about Gran Via that strikes its visitors is the larger arcades and the tall white columns. Connected with Plaza Espana, this street invites all residents and travellers with its larger than life Art Nouveau Deco. It is difficult to imagine Madrid without this grand boulevard. These streets are home to numerous businesses and the address for many residents too. Businesses include banks, commercial companies and stores. This is the main destination for all shoppers, as brands across budgets are available here. Fondly called a shopper’s paradise, for those who love Gran Via, even an entire day is less here.
