The Area Surrounding:
The Shelley apartment is wonderfully located at the heart of Madrid. Really close to Gran Vía, one of the city’s trademark streets, featuring lots of shops, restaurants, theatres and, definitively, all types of interesting places for those who wants to explore the most lively side of the city. It is also a key point for its important touristic places. Here we’ll find the Royal Palace, the Almudena Cathedral or the Sabatini Gardens, just a few meters off some of the most elegant cafés of the city, at the same Plaza de Oriente. And for the opera lovers, also at the same Plaza de Oriente, the Royal Theatre.
In this same area we can find Debod's Temple, an impressive monument granted by Egypt to Spain as a sign of gratitude for the latter’s collaboration in the construction of the Asuan’s dam. The vistas from the park where the temple is situated are spectacular, making it possible to encompass the greatest part of the city.
And if you wish to taste the famous “tapas” or any tipical dish of Madrid, a great idea will be to visit one of the most emblematic and charming squares: the Plaza Mayor.
