Lonely Planet review for Gran Vía

One of Madrid’s signature boulevards, Gran Vía was bulldozed through central Madrid in 1911 in a muscular, if ultimately successful example of town planning. Dominating the skyline is the 1920s-era Telefónica building, while the boulevard’s southeastern end boasts the most spectacular façades, none more so than the stunning, French-designed Edificio Metrópolis (1905).
