La Real Casa de Correos à Madrid est un bâtiment historique magnifique ! Située sur la célèbre Place de la Puerta del Sol, elle a été construite en 1768 comme siège des postes royales espagnoles. Aujourd'hui, elle abrite le siège de la Présidence de la Communauté de Madrid. Ce bâtiment néoclassique est connu pour : - Sa tour avec l'horloge qui sonne les douze coups de minuit le 31 décembre - Sa façade ornée de colonnes et de sculptures - Son rôle central dans les célébrations et événements madrilènes

Mirador: Acceso al último piso del emblemático palacio que alberga el reloj de la Puerta del Sol. Se reserva con antelación y las vistas abarcan casi toda la Puerta del Sol y calle Alcalá. No es muy alto como para ver toda la ciudad, pero es una alternativa original y menos concurrida que otros miradores.
