	Plaza de Espana: Plaza de España and Monument to Miguel de Cervante Tip Rating:

Monument to Miguel de
Cervantes

by jamiesno

The Plaza de España is one of Madrid's largest and most popular squares. It is usually filled with street vendors, tourists and locals. The square is located at the end of the Gran Via, one of Madrid's busiest streets. The green square is surrounded by streets, but it is still a very relaxing place during daytime. It features a large fountain and famous statue honoring the Spanish writer Cervantes.

The monument to Miguel de Cervantes, writer of the world famous story of Don Quixote de la Mancha and his trusty squire, Sancho Panza. Visitors usually flock to the monument to get their picture taken in front of the bronze statues of Don Quixote on his horse and Sancho Panza on his mule. Behind them a is statue of Cervantes himself, looking over his creations.

You can see all of this in the picture I took :-)

In between the Gran Via and the Princesa street you can find the Plaza de España, it's a lovely square with a little park and a fountain with a monument to Cervantes and Don Quijote. This square is especially nice when the weather is nice and warm... you often see people sunbathing there and enjoying some relaxing time! Also it allowes you to look at the very impressive Torre España, a very beautyful building!

Wow what an original name for a square! Yet compared to the plaza underthe same name in Barcalone, the Madrid one is much more of interest. its The ultimate place of meeting up,. its popular amongst Madrelenes and its always overcrowded. The plaza is dominated by the somewaht stalinsitic bulding skyscraper Edificio Espanol, which anyway, by its ues of conctete and metal is kindof looking cute. Next to it on the other side of the street, the Torre de Madrid is making its appeareance. Look at it standing there that conctete Monster which has been the hughest concrete building in the wold for decades. On the square you will find a fountain. In summer a good fridge to put in your cheap beer as bought in the supermarket an a relief for your feets as you can drop them into the cold water after a long walk through Gran Via. In the middle of the square you ll find a statue of the famous writer Cervantes who wrote the tales of Don Quichot meant as a satire on spanish nobelty.

The Don and Sancho Panza

by ChrsStrl

In the Plaza de Espana is the stone obelisk which has, in front of it, two of Spain's most well-known figures, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.

Behind sits their creator, Cevantes.

This is another of those green squares which is lush and where water features once again. It is a good starting off place to examine the Temple of Debod and Sabatini Gardens later.
