One of the main arteries of Madrid, the Paseo de la Castellana is also a sightseeing opportunity to be explored on foot.
Walking up north from here, you pass the Plaza de los Cibeles, with a statue surrounded by fountains, in front of the huge Telecommunications building and the Bank of Spain, the National Library, the tall statue of Columbus (Colón in Spanish) on the Plaza de Colón, several ministries and modern banks. Still, you can see older buildings and statues in the middle of the Castellana giving you an idea of the elegance of this part of Madrid in times gone by. Further north, Madrid's Manhattan and especially the Gate to Europe are modern and sometimes futuristic. The Gate of Europe, at the top of the Castellana, are two spectacular towers welcoming the visitor to the city through the Castellana.
