Rooftop tour across Madrid’s Gran Via

Discover Madrid from the heights is amazing. You can enjoy your breakfast from the heights while you see the city rush below. You will feel as a king and admire the beautiful rooftops of Madrid:  small, scratched and full of parabolic antennas with no sign...some others are impressive and majestic reflecting power, finance and politics. The rooftop tour across Madrid’s Gran Via offers all these and much more.  

These rooftops were not popular some time ago, but now are the place to be in Madrid. They are usually full of people and you must book in advance your table if you want to have breakfast in some of them.

Vincci The Mint's Rooftop in Gran Vía, Madrid

The most popular rooftops in Madrid’s Gran Via are:

• Emperador Hotel: with a pool at the rooftop terrace.
• IBEROSTAR Las Letras Hotel: with a chill out area and a bar.
• Circulo de Bellas Artes: emblematic rooftop offering cultural activities.
• The Principal: rooftop terrace with a nice boardwalk.

Gran Via rooftops allow us to admire some of the most iconic buildings in Madrid. However, there are other rooftops in different areas of Madrid which are also worth a visit (like terraces at La Latina neighbourhood). Gran Via rooftops are unique and perfectly identified with the destination, making them popular tourist attractions.

Most of the rooftops are designed as leisure and restaurant areas. They usually have a bar, cafe or cocktail bar. For example, Vincci The Mint rooftop (the new hotel in Gran Via by Vincci Hotels)  with a New York style food truck where to have a snack or a refreshing drink.

If you are staying at any of Las Letras hotel rooms in Gran Via, you will know why the hotel rooftop is a popular meeting point in Madrid. It’s the perfect place where to have breakfast or go after work. This 1917 building is always lively and full of tourists, locals and onlookers from around the world.

You should visit all of them and make a short tour in the evening (when you can admire Madrid’s lights), enjoying a nice dinner with snacks and some drinks. You should check the events calendar if you want to join any party -specially in spring and summer-.

Despite the information above is really important, the key factor in destinations like Punta Cana is the hotel choice. The hotel should meet all our needs and our travel motivations. So we should clearly know them in order to make a better choice.

Discover northern Majorca, the perfect plan for your holidays

Majorca is full of spots that will surprise you due to their beauty and what they offer you such as Serra de Tramuntana, the paradise beach of Es Trenc, salinas or Drach Caves. These places made the island to be one of the top destinations in the world raking.

Despite many people thinks southern Majorca has the best beaches and routes, there’s not a significant difference between the “north and the south” of Majorca. Moreover, northern and southern Majorca are both equally beautiful. So, why not choosing the highest area in Majorca to enjoy an alternative holiday, different from the traditional one? If you choose this option, you should stay at a hotel in Playa de Muro y ¡listo! ¡A disfrutar de la otra orilla de Mallorca!

The north side of the island hides many must-visit places like the popular Port Alcudia (where you should taste a delicious Majorcan-style fish) or the Natural Park of Albufera, the largest wetland in the island where to admire the amazing fauna and flora of this Mediterranean destination. There are different walking tours you can do in northern Majorca, and the park is one of the most recommended ones for families.

You should visit Pollensa and specially its port. Its vintage style and the small houses on the seashore make Port Pollensa an interesting place to visit. Would you also like to know Majorcan traditions? You should then visit its weekly market on Saturdays, where you can buy local fresh food (fruits, vegetables and cheeses).
