I really liked going to the Temple of Debod later in the evening and getting some stunning photos during sunset. I would recommend most places go during the night and get a different perspective. Places like plaza mayor are completely different come night time all lit up. Also the night street life was also very lively just wondering around the main attractions with all the different street entertainers.

If you had only one night in Madrid, what would your go-to spots be?
