| ABOUT MADRID |
Madrid, capital and largest city of Spain. It is also
the capital of the autonomous region and province of Madrid. The city
of Madrid is located in the historic region of New Castile near the
geographic center of the Iberian Peninsula. Madrid is Spain's administrative,
financial, and transportation center. The city is famous for its historical
landmarks, museums, active street life, broad boulevards, and outdoor
caf?s.
Madrid is a modern city that lacks the historical richness of Rome
or Paris, but it has a lively atmosphere that, given the opportunity
to work its magic, cannot leave you indifferent. This city of three
million people is placed on a plateau, some 700 meters above sea level,
making it the highest capital of Europe.Leaving aside the great art
museums and the splendour of the Plaza Mayor, the Palacio Real and
the Parque Retiro, the essence of Madrid lies in the life on the streets.
Everyone seems to stay out late and in this sense it is a city more
to be lived than seen.
To experience Madrid is to explore its restaurants and eateries, prop
up its countless bars, and be swept up in the nocturnal madness of
its music scene and clubs. Madrid has always been a city of immigrants
and transients, and the result is an unusually open and accessible
city. Ambitious programs to modernise the city are afoot, but the
gatos (locals) of Madrid can rest assured that their town remains
as refreshingly unlike Paris, London or Rome as ever. |
