Madrid, Spain ~Siesta Central~
Madrid the capital of Spain is a cosmopolitan city, characterized by intense cultural and artistic activity with exciting nightlife. It is a lively metropolis with many pubs, cafes, discotheques and nightclubs open late into the night. It is Spain's largest, most exciting city!
It boast's modern infrastructure and has preserved the look and feel of many of its historic neighborhoods and streets. Although most of Old Madrid can be reached within itself by foot, Central Madrid is served by a comprehensive network of around 200 city bus routes, a modern and extensive metro system and local trains for transport to neighbouring cities and towns.
The climate of Madrid is continental, being mainly dry and quite extreme at times, with frequent rain in winter. During the summer it becomes a virtual free festival and If you're in Madrid during the second half of May be sure to join Madrileños in celebrating the Feria de San Isidro, which has music, operas, concerts, bullfighting and dancing. Even though it is not a coast region, people say that "Madrid is the best harbour in the world" referring to the excellent fish and seafood restaurants. Although there are many dishes of lamb and veal, Madrid is a real paradise for the lovers of any kind of fish.
I conclude that the general aspect of Madrid is modern, with boulevards and fashionable shopping areas, but the old quarters have picturesque streets. This city is the perfect European getaway, for a splash of culture, fashion and afternoon siesta's!
