Is the Gran Via in Madrid the most impressive and beautiful European avenue?

[Gredos]

[Gredos]

obviously yes

[Antudo]

I mean it looks nice but this kind of architecture doesn't really impress me much.

It's early 20th century architecture, nothing extraordinary.

But you will recognize that as a whole it is the coolest European avenue, or not?

If there are others that you like more you can show it to compare

Remarkably clean.

No. It´s beautiful but not the most impressive and beautiful European avenue.

Maybe it could be among the top 10 in Europe, and I have my doubts about this.

Eres bastante exagerado.

I Love Madrid's Gran Via very much.
Each time I'm in Madrid I save an hour to have a look at it.
• There is nothing like that in Paris, London or Berlin. NOTHING can compare in the rest of Europe.
• It looks like images of Buenos Ayres.
• Behind each high rise building there are blocks made of humble two-storey houses. The contrast is nothing short of impressive.
• It's a mix-up of early 20th century, 20's, and 40's and 50's architecture — just as if the authorities wanted to make it clear that no civil war ever happened in Madrid in the 30's.
The Gran Via is sublime.

Remarkably clean.

This is a thing many foreigners highlight. Lol, how are the streets in other countries then? all dirty?

Madrid is a very clean city, especially when you compare it to Lisbon or even Paris, i think only the German and Scandinavian cities are cleaner.

Well i was thinking about something like Champs-Élysées in Paris or Via dei Fori Imperiali in Rome, even though this last street is a bit atypical.
