 The square and the flag by SirRichard
Here you can find some monolithical monuments to the America discovery by Columbus (left in the pic), the biggest Spanish flag in all Spain and a statue of Colon (top right in the pic), smaller than the one in Barcelona, and you can't go to the top. Leave a Comment Directions: Metro Colon

 Blade Runner landscape by agarcia
Though not the liveliest area of Madrid (especially by night), some pretty decent restaurants and bars could be found over there, on the Avenida del Brasil area, to be more precise. Leave a Comment

In a style that is strikingly different from that of the Puerta de Alcala (to say the least!), the Puerta de Europa is the northernmost point of entry to the city and a symbol of Madrid's modernity. It is made up of two towers (commonly called the KIO Towers, built in 1996) that lean towards each other at a 15° angle over the Plaza de Castilla. So far I've gotten mixed reviews when I showed my friends my pictures of the Puerta de Europa - some really like it, others really don't. I'm part of the former group: I could see the leaning towers all the way from my house in Madrid so one day I decided to walk up the Paseo de la Castellana to see the towers from up close, and I have to say that I really enjoyed their unique design. I'll let you be your own judge! Leave a Comment Directions: Metro "Plaza de Castilla"
