Sebastian
"On the opposite end of the Paseo del Prado, east of the Plaza de Cibeles, you can find the famous Puerta de Alcala, a beautiful gate that sits in the middle of the Plaza de la Independencia. The gate is another one of Madrid's most iconic sights right at the north-west corner of El Retiro. "
