The Puerta del Sol is regarded as the true geographical
heart of Spain - lying right in the middle of Madrid.  All distance markers along the roads on the national Spanish
highway system use Puerta del Sol as their reference point
and on New Year's Eve each year Puerta del Sol becomes
Spain's "Times Square" with thousands of revelers packing
the square swallowing grapes at each of the twelve strokes
of midnight. The Puerta del Sol is the most popular meeting
place in Madrid.
