(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Puerta del Sol is the heart of Madrid, famous for the Zero Kilometer, the Bear and Madrono statue, and the clock of the Casa de Correos, a historic building built in the 18th century, originally hosted the postal services, but today houses the Presidency of the Community of Madrid. Its most emblematic element is the clock, which every December 31st marks the chimes of the end of the year, a tradition followed by millions of Spaniards. It is a place full of symbolism and an icon in the heart of the city.
We will make an outside visit at the Hotel Posada del Peine, one of the most emblematic accommodations in Madrid, known for being the oldest hotel in the city, with more than 400 years of history. It is located in the heart of the old town, close to Plaza Mayor, offering a mix of historic charm and modern amenities. The name “Posada del Comb” comes from a curious tradition of the 17th century, when each room featured a comb tied with a rope for guests. Today, the hotel retains its historic character, but with updated facilities that make it an ideal choice for those looking to immerse themselves in the history of Madrid while enjoying a comfortable stay.
Plaza Mayor
Madrid’s Plaza Mayor is one of the city’s most iconic places, an imposing rectangular square surrounded by historic buildings with uniform facades and porticoes. Originally built in the 17th century, it has witnessed markets, festivals, bullfighting and historical events. In the center is the equestrian statue of Philip III, a prominent symbol of the square. In addition, its surroundings are full of cafes, restaurants and traditional shops, making it an ideal point to enjoy Madrid’s gastronomy, such as a good squid sandwich. It is a place that combines history, culture and modern life in the heart of the city.
