My very first clear memory of my first visit to Madrid was emerging from the Banco de España subway stop in the early evening. There was some sort of Xmas/New Year's holiday celebration going on, so the place was swarming with people. There were colorful lights hanging from the trees, and it was chilly. This fountain is located right at that metro stop. Madrid is lacking a super-iconic Eiffel Tower sort of landmark that screams, "Madrid," to the world. Instead, this fountain serves as one of a few of the few spots in town whispers, "madrid" to those in the know. Lisa and I took this photo about a year ago.
