This drive starts at Puerta del Sol, which is more than just Madrid's busiest square — it's Kilometre Zero, the official starting point of Spain's entire radial road network, a designation fixed here in 1857. A small plaque set into the pavement marks the spot (it was accidentally installed backwards during a 2002 renovation and had to be corrected in 2009), and the square's skyline is still topped by the famous illuminated Tío Pepe sherry-bottle sign, a Madrid fixture since the mid-20th century that has simply moved rooftops a couple of times as buildings changed hands.
From there the route passes the Royal Palace, which is genuinely enormous by European standards: at roughly 135,000 square metres and 3,418 rooms, it's the largest functioning royal palace in Western Europe. It's still the official residence of the Spanish royal family and is used for state ceremonies and official receptions, even though King Felipe VI and his family actually live at the far more modest Zarzuela Palace on the city's outskirts.
Gran Vía, the next stretch of the drive, is a comparatively young street by Madrid standards — construction only began in 1910 and wasn't fully finished until 1929, built in three distinct phases that required demolishing more than 300 existing buildings and 50 streets. Locals still half-jokingly call it the 'Spanish Broadway' for its theatres, cinemas, and now its flagship stores.
The drive winds down with a walk through Retiro Park, which began life in the 1630s as the private pleasure gardens of a royal palace built for King Philip IV, and only opened to ordinary Madrileños in 1868 after the Glorious Revolution — and even then, early visitors had to follow a strict dress code that required women to keep their shoulders covered and men to wear a cape and hat.
