Oso y Madroño (Puerta de Sol)


Escudo (coat of arms) of Madrid
Oso y Madroño
In Puerta de Sol, which is the very center of Madrid, you can find the statue of Oso y Madroño. Oso means "bear" in Spanish, and Madroño means "strawberry stree". Both used to be in abundance in Madrid and therefore they became the symbol of Madrid. The Madrid coat of arms also represents Oso y Madroño. When you go to Puerta de Sol, this is a must place for a picture!
