Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas
We couldn’t see a bullfight when we were there but admired Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas, the largest bullfighting ring in Spain. Would have been nice to see a bullfight but hey, maybe we will so on the TV haha. The square in front was beautiful, sun was shining and overall we had a pleasant visit.
Some of the other places we saw include Palacio de Cibeles, the home of Madrid City Council and formerly the city’s main post office and telegraph and telephone headquarters. Also including photos of some interesting buildings we passed by along the way.
