Although travelling in the winter can be troublesome - you need to pack thicker clothes which makes your luggage heavier and the day is much shorter, you get Christmas lights, Christmas markets and festive events that you don’t have in the summer. If you walk by Gran Via, Retiro and most robust areas in Madrid, you instantly feel the joy and excitement of the winter season with the festive songs that being played in shops and the decorations in the street and department stores. The winter in Madrid isn’t horribly cold (around 10 degree on average) - you get to feel the change of season but still manage to do most outdoor activities without feeling frozen. #madrid #christmaslights #christmasmarket

#bucketlistreboot Gran Vía Gran Via – rooftop view For some shopping, or just strolling the streets of Madrid, go on Gran Vía (“Great Way”). This street, sometimes referred to as the “Spanish Broadway”, is one of the city’s most important shopping areas, with a large number of hotels and movie theatres, although many of these theatres have been replaced by shopping centres. Nonetheless, perfect for an evening walk and great for some shopping. Whilst in the area, we also visited Azotea del Círculo rooftop bar for the best panoramic view of the capital. Went there for a coffee but would certainly go there anytime of the day to enjoy the views! #spain #madrid
