SMALL DESCRIPTION

Madrid is the capital and most populous city of Spain. It is the second-largest

city and its metropolitan area is the second-largest in the European Union. Madrid
lies on the River Manzanares in the central part of the Iberian Peninsula. It is also
the political, economic and cultural centre of the country. Seasonal differences are
large by Iberian standards with hot summers and cool winters.

ATTRACTIONS
A tour on the city is absolutely necessary to experience the spirit of the streets in
Madrid. A good starting point is the Puerta del Sol, which is located on the south
side of town. From there you can explore several streets. You can also visit the
famous Plaza Mayor, built in the 17th century.
Prado Museum is one of the largest museums in the world. It is difficult to see
everything in one visit. There are also works of Murillo, El Greco, Rubens and
Titian, among others. It is open Tuesday to Saturday from 9am to 7pm and
Sundays until 2pm.
The Royal Palace is only used for some official functions. You can visit Mondays
to Saturdays from 9am to 6pm, and Sundays until 3pm.
The Trail, south of the Plaza Mayor, is in the old part of town. Every Sunday
morning you can attend El Rastro, a market with stalls selling everything you can
imagine, mostly second hand.
