Gran Via in Madrid
One of the most hustled parts of Madrid’s city center is La Gran Via, place that has a vast variety of things to see and do. Also known as the city’s own Broadway, the many venues of the Gran Via offer its locals and visitors places to enjoy watching the Cirque du Soleil, Les Miserables, the Lion King, ballet, stand-up comedy, among others.
In what seems like a ghost town, the streets of Madrid are left abandoned these days. Shops and schools are closed and the city remains quiet, not because people are out of town enjoying a vacation, but are constrained to stay home.
