Enjoy the best views. Such permanent expectation that everyone has when they land in a new and unknown city is very easy to be met in Madrid. There are lookouts in strategic places, located in historic buildings or in very relevant areas, from which it is possible to contemplate the urban fabric, the roofs of the old town, the open horizon, with the Guadarrama mountains always in the background. Do you want to know which are those strategically located balconies?
