Things to do in Madrid, Community of Madrid: The Best Fountains
April 4, 2022 Velvet Mowry
So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

The fountain is very beautiful and grand. It is in the middle of a busy roundabout. The place where Athelico Madrid football club celebrates their victory.
