Madrid, Spain
As a tourist destination, Madrid is filled with fascinating areas to explore. There are the wide, gracefully tree lined major avenues and
boulevards, the trendy and cosmopolitan buildings, and, in contrast, the old areas that twist and wind with quaint streets and cozy cafes. Together, these combine to provide many days of discovery of the treasured past and the exciting present of Madrid.
Madrid is located in the center of the Iberian Peninsula and has served as the capital of Spain since 1562. Its southern and elevated location allows for warm, dry summers and cool winters,
providing excellent traveling weather all year round.
One cannot help but notice a prominent green expanse on the map of Madrid. Parque Del Retiro is more than a nature walk. In fact, many visitors return several times during their stay for the
wide variety of entertainment provided by street performers, boaters, skaters, and puppeteers.
The city offers many interesting museums, with the world-famous Prado National Museum
leading the way. Housed in an 18th-century
building, the Prado features the works of Rubens, Goya, El Greco,
Bosch, Velazquez, Titian and many others. Madrid's most famous contemporary
art museum is the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia. Its
centerpiece is Picasso's enormous antiwar masterpiece, Guernica. The
highly acclaimed works of the Thyssen-Bornemisza collection are displayed at the
Villahermosa Palace.
The historic quarters of Madrid are filled with interesting sights and structures. Columns, arches, churches, fountains, even an Egyptian Temple await the traveler.
The Madrid Card is a wise purchase, as it
combines a transportation pass with free entry to various museums and
attractions, among other discounts.
Madrid has hills and mountains in abundance for
the climber and hiker. There are twenty local golf courses, some of
which welcome nonmembers. Parque de Nieve is the amateur
athlete's dream.
This is an indoor, artificial slope that can be configured with different
terrains. There are separate areas for skiing, snowboarding and tubing, as
well as an ice wall for climbers. Bicycling is also a popular sport, and
bike trails are available. Spain's national sport is futbol
(soccer), and Madrid boasts three home teams. The season runs from
September to June. A close second in the hearts of Madrilenos and Spaniards
is the corrida (bullfight), for which the season is from March to
October.

Shopping in Madrid is a delight.
The shopping area of Serrano,
just east of Paseo de la Castellana, is where shoppers will discover boutiques, home-decorating
stores and stylish shops, including Chanel and Armani. Calle Ribera de
Curtidores located in the heart of the Rastro market, has the largest
concentration of antique shops in Madrid.
The
streets around Puerta del Sol form a more traditional (less exclusive)
shopping area, where you can still find shops that have been in business
since the 1800s.
Long lunches will be a necessity, as the rich variety of sights and sounds of this fabulous city
require time for assimilation and reflection. Fortunately, to relax is to be
Spanish. People sleep late. Shops seem to open and close of their own accord. Hundreds of restaurants, cafes and bars line the streets, not for the purpose of continuous eating and drinking, but because sociability and enjoyment of life as a community are cultural necessities. Lunch is more than a meal; in
the right company, it can become an all-day activity.
Madrid by day is a social city, but the fun doesn't end with the sunset. It is nearly impossible to describe Madrid's unending list of evening activities. Nightspots in Madrid generally stay open until 4AM, giving visitors plenty of time to explore the excellent restaurants,
tapas bars, open-air cafes, jazz and night clubs.
Most travelers arrive in Madrid with plans to stay for a day or two before striking out for other parts of Spain. Many, however, stay longer once they realize the infinite possibilities Madrid offers for fine
cuisine, great sightseeing and shopping, outstanding sports venues, and a
vacation to remember.
