Reaching the top of the Gran Via after going up the ThyssenKrupp Elevator Ramps we will make a stop at the Plaza de España to admire the statue of Los Caballos (The Horses) sculpted by Juan José Oliveira, standing right in the middle of a roundabout welcoming the visitors that enter the city by car.
