Madrid – one of Europe’s great capitals.
One of the finest cities in Europe with so much for the tourist of business visitor it is hard to distil in a few paragraphs. Not only is Madrid the capital and seat of government but also the business and administrative centre of Spain.
The Prado museum is one of the most famous in the world and one of its greatest art galleries with paintings by Goya, El Greco and Velázquez as well as Rubens, Bosch, Rembrandt and many, many others. The Prado is a ‘must see’.
Next to the Prado are the Botanical Gardens which contain 30,000 species of trees and plants. Madrid’s largest park is El Retiro, formally laid out with avenues, statues and inspiring architecture, including the Crystal Palace.
One of Madrid’s most famous assets is its soccer team, Real Madrid and the stadium is worth a visit.
Madrid is also a wonderful centre for local and international cuisine as well as world class hotels and entertainment.
The city's climate is unusual. The altitude brings cool winters and even snow with temperatures dropping below freezing. Summer, on the other hand, sees 30C or more or higher. The cooler nights bring much relief from the hotter days. There is little rain in the summer with spring and autumn being the wettest. The climate is classed as Continental Mediterranean which is rare given the distance from the sea.
