The iconic Puerta del Sol, with its famous clock tower, serves as a bustling meeting point and the gateway to the historic streets of Madrid. Students can explore the nearby Plaza Mayor, enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Mercado de San Miguel, or indulge in world-class shopping along Gran Vía. Additionally, the area is dotted with cozy cafés, tapas bars, and cultural venues, fostering a sense of community and providing ample opportunities to connect with locals and fellow students alike.
