Originally we had planned to be in Malaga on this day but Malaga is a much smaller city and almost everything is closed on Sunday. It turns out that a lot of things are closed on Sunday in Madrid as well. We were going to try to see some of the famous art museums such as the Prado and Reina Sofia but that didn't work out because they were closed early or entirely on Sundays. We did visit the Plaza de Espana. It is located at the end of the Gran Via and this was the first time we ventured this direction on the Gran Via. I'm we decided to go that way.

We walked around to a couple different places that we wanted to see up close before we move on to another city. We went to see the Fountain of Cybele at the Plaze de Cibeles which is located in the center of one of Madrid's busiest intersections. The fountain is the city's most famous landmark and it depicts the goddess of nature and abundance riding her chariot, hauled by a pair of prancing lions.
