Walking loops in Sol, Madrid

Puerta del Sol is where Spain measures distance from — kilometer zero, set in the pavement, a brass plaque that tourists photograph and commuters step over. The square is loud, perpetually crowded, and anchored by a clock that counts down New Year's Eve while the nation eats twelve grapes. Streets radiate outward in narrow spokes toward every other neighborhood. Sol isn't where you linger; it's where you begin, recalibrate, and choose your next direction. The metro station below moves half the city daily.
