Madrid city
Madrid has been the capital of Spain since 1562, and has more than 4 million inhabitants. It is extremely compact and its central
location provides convenient access to any part of Spain in approximately five hours by car. Madrid is a city full of contrasts where the old
"barrios" of La Latina and Malasaña mix their ancient character with the modern architecture of La Castellana and Torre Picasso.
Throughout the year, Madrid offers a great variety of events such as exhibitions, football matches, concerts, opera, "zarzuela", theatre, and
bullfights. The nightlife is unmatched by other European cities and is often crowded with people of all ages having a good time in restaurants,
clubs discos and bars. Due to the large number of foreign residents and the population of Spanish migrants, Madrid guarantees cultural diversity
and good fun.
