Wide tree-lined boulevard that continues the Paseo del Prado between Plaza de Cibeles and Plaza de Colón. It is home to the Biblioteca Nacional building, inaugurated in the late 19th century, and the historic Café Gijón, open since 1888 and a traditional venue for literary tertulias. Its wide central walkway with terraces makes it one of the most pleasant axes of the city centre.
