Spain's huge capital city is the centre point of the country and a top destination for culture, shopping and entertainment. It is also top in another sence of the word. Madrid is Europe's highest capital, at an altitude of 2,100 feet. Its cooling breezes, in the often intense heat, match its fresh approach to life amongst its madern and historic architectures.
Madrid Tourism
This is a city that is always on the go, with events every
day of the week, such as the large and varied Sunday markets. The Rastro is
amongst the largest flea markets in the world and a good one to start with,
as it's easy to find - beginning beside the impressive Cathedral of San
Isidro. Scattered around the rest of the city are bustling fairs like the
one at the Plaza Mayor, which specialises in an extensive range of
collectable items.
If you're not intending on buying, the venue itself is
still worth a look for its Renaissance style architecture and fascinating
history as a centre for both festivals and carnivals. Another stunning
building is the Royal Palace (Palacio Real). Its magnificent facade is a
favourite place to take some holiday snaps, but its stunning interiors,
courtyards and formal gardens are also open to the public and make for a
memorable visit.
Any description of this city wouldn't be complete without
a mention to its most famous of cultural pursuits - bullfighting. Adored and
derided in equal measure, this is nevertheless the home of the sport. It
cannot be denied that a day out in one of the immense bullrings, that seat
up to 32,000 spectators, is an exhilarating experience. One facet to the
city that everyone will enjoy however, is its excellent public transport
system, with an efficient metro service that takes you to all of the top
sites!
