The sword fighting Madrid feels like a never ending party, calibrating the joy of life. A crossing point for Iberia, the Spanish capital of Madrid as become a city with a large hunger for art music and epicurean joys.

“From Madrid to Heaven (Or “De Madrid a cielo” in Spanish.) As the highest capital in Europe, Madrid is hot in summer and freezing in winter, with temperate springs and autumns. Especially in winter — when steamy café windows beckon you inside for a hot caldo (broth) and the blue skies are particularly bright — Madrid is the next best place to heaven.

With the highest altitudes of a capital in Europe. Madrid can be boiling in the summer and freezing in the winter, with average autumns and springs.
Spain’s capital, a city of over 3 million people, is situated close to the geographical centre of the country.

It is a wonderful city with highly fascinating people. Madrid’s attractions include three internationally famous art galleries, a royal palace, grand public squares and many museums filled with the treasures of Spain’s history.

La Latina is an area of Madrid quite often overlooked by the majority of tourists and visitors but it is home to the Plaza la Paja which was Madrid’s main square during medieval times.

book arrived very soon, and in great condition. We bought this book for our trip to Madrid. The restaurant reviews were mostly dead on, but the review of our hotel forgot to mention that the hotel charged 10 Euro/day for TV (Gran Hotel Conde Dueque). We had a great time by following suggestions in the book and would buy it again.
Everything in the book is great. I had a Fodor’s book for Barcelona, and this Frommer’s book was far better.
