Gran Via

Gran Via is one of the most important streets in the city. Here you can find most of the city's theaters, cinemas and other cultural venues. At Gran Via you can also find lots of high-end stores, restaurants and Starbucks (of course).

McDonald's, Burger King and KFC are the other American notables. Gran Via is always busy...according to some Madrilenos Gran Via is like a small version of NYC's Fifth Avenue. Never been to NYC but Gran Via is a very cool place. Not to mention the impressive architecture of most buildings along the street.
