Madrid, Spain
On the banks of the Manzanares River sits Europe’s third largest city: Madrid, Spain. The capital city of Spain, Madrid is also the financial center of the Iberian Peninsula. It’s rich history is preserved amongst the city’s modern infrastructure creating a vibrant and exciting landscape. In addition to historic neighborhoods and landmarks, the city has skyscrapers, factories, and a vibrant business center.
Visitors to this city of over three million can sample the culture, history, and art of this European hotspot while staying in one of the many five star Madrid hotels and enjoying the legendary Madrid nightlife. (It is believed that Madrid has the most bars per capita in all of Europe.)
For the more daring tourist, a visit to Las Ventas, the largest bullring in Spain. This arena holds nearly 25,000 spectators and is thought to be the world’s center of bullfighting. The season runs from March to October every year.
Madrid’s architecture spans centuries, with medieval cathedrals sharing the city with modern edificies. The city is home to many galleries and museums as well as opera and classical music. Whether sampling some of the local Castille cuisine, dancing all night in a modern club, or simply enjoying the slower pace (and siestas!) of this charming city, visitors will find much to enjoy in Madrid.
