Plaza Puerto del Sol

Puerto del Sol (meaning Gateway of the Sun) competes with Plaza Mayor as the number one square of Madrid.



The clock tower from 1866
The Spanish has a tradition of eating 12 grapes when this clock strikes at midnight on New Year's Day

The famous Tio Pepe sign has been here since 1936 
(except 2011-13 when the building was refurbished)
