EXHIBITIONS

As the Museo del Prado presents the works of 17th-century Dutch painters, the Thyssen and Fundación Caja Madrid explore Monet's crucial but still little studied role in the development of abstract painting. Meanwhile the Fundación Canal welcomes 250 works from across the globe. All these exhibitions, and many more, are waiting for you in Madrid.

Monet. Water Lilies. Claude Monet. 1908. 

gran vía

If there is just one street that you must make sure to visit when you're in Madrid, this is it. Lined with spectacular buildings, shops and restaurants, a walk along it will fill you with the pulse of our city. What is more, in 2010 Gran Vía turns a century old. A great number of leisure and cultural activities are organised to celebrate the occasion. The programme provides insight into the history of this brilliant and highly ambitious architectural project launched in the early 20th century, and which modernised Madrid's appearance.
