Outstanding
Very beautiful and grand square. I went there three times at different times, at night, during the day, and at sunset. Each has its own beautiful scenery. Photos taken from different angles are very beautiful. It's a free attraction!

Plaza de España attraction highlights
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Located at the western end of Gran Via, just a few steps from the Royal Palace of Madrid, Plaza de España is one of Madrid's more popular attractions, famous for the Monument to Cervantes. There are two striking buildings behind Plaza de España: Torre de Madrid and Edificio Espana, the former European high-rises built in 1948. The top floors of both buildings are good places to enjoy panoramic views of Madrid. In the center of the Plaza de España, there is a monument to the great Spanish writer Cervantes. The statue of Cervantes sits in front of the monument and overlooks Don Quixote, who is holding a spear and riding a thin horse, and his loyal stout. The statue of the servant Sancho, in addition, two stone statues representing Don Quixote's true love stand on both sides of the monument: the ordinary village girl Ardonsa Rorenzo and the imaginary beautiful Dulcinea Del Tor Poso. The rectangular pool on the square and the high-rise buildings behind the statue cover each other, which makes the statue have the beauty of spatial perspective and is a good location for photography. The sun in Spain is relatively strong, and it is backlit in the morning. It is recommended to shoot from this angle in the afternoon.
