For a university brochure:
**ENTRA MADRID POR LA PUERTA GRANDE**
Ven a estudiar a Madrid. Una de las ciudades más
acogedoras y atractivas de
Europa. Ven y entra por la puerta de una de las
mejores universidades de
España.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

If a fighter receives two ears in the same afternoon, he is lifted up on to somebody's shoulders and transported out of the ring and through the main gate. He has thus opened the Puerta Grande, the maximum accolade for any bullfighter.
