Very lovely everywhere you pass there is an iconic  building or a beautiful Building architecture this   was one of the most challenging constructions  which as I mentioned before was finished in   1921 but in order to do this around 300 buildings  they had to be demolished so there was pretty much  

A love- hate history a love story because now  everyone loves The Gran via for what it represents   not only to Madrid but for its Spain and a hate story because a lot of people back in 1921 was   against this project in which many residents  and buildings had to be demolished but now  

It is important part of the capital city  because it connects one side to the other right there behind me we got the Banco  de España the bank of Spain which you   might recognize it from the famous  series from Netflix called La Casa
