Meeting Point (Gran Via Metro)

Where do we meet? At Gran Vía Metro!

A meeting point for millions of Madrilenians , the Madrid Gran Vía Metro exit has been witness to stories that are well worth making newspaper headlines for over a century.

LIFE with capital letters, local characters, curiosities, travelers, movie-like love stories, walking along the Spanish Broadway allows you to discover in one glance everything that Madrid has to offer. There is no street more vibrant than the 1360 meters designed by Sallaberry & Palacios, nor more beautiful.

María Simavilla has done it again. Her new print Punto de encuentro (Metro Gran Vía) offers a picture of the city that never sleeps, where we are all connected at a meeting point: that METRO intersection that has a lot to tell and contains the essence of Madrid: local eccentricity, diversity and love.

Artist: Maria Simavilla

From kindergarten to her doctorate, María has always been an illustrator.

She didn't always know she would do this. She wanted to be a veterinarian, an astronaut and a truck driver, until one day she found out that what she liked to do most was also a profession. And since then, she has devoted herself to drawing.

Two dozen books later, multiple exhibitions and national and international awards, María is living proof of how destiny can change when you enroll in a drawing class.
