The center of Madrid is very active and alive during the entire year, but this is especially true during Christmas time, with the beautiful lights, the Christmas trees, the people, and the several Christmas markets where you can get lost for a few hours.

The real protagonist of Madrid during Christmas are the lights and decoration in all of the most important streets and avenuesin the city, and each year creative artists, architects and designers are asked to create new and amazing displays.

Madrid on the top. There is a very popular saying: De Madrid al cielo (from Madrid to heaven), which origin has been very debated.
