La Puerta del Sol is a meeting place in Madrid, Spain that is a must-see for all tourists! Many of the city’s busiest streets meet at La Puerta del Sol, and it stands as the celebratory location for the Spanish New Year (similar to New York Square). The street outside of La Puerta del Sol stands as one of the largest riots during the Spanish rebellion against the French after Joseph Bonaparte stole the Spanish throne from Ferdinand the VII (Schulz, 2008).
