"Welcome to Madrid, the capital of Spain since 1562; it is a monumental city, with a wide cultural offer: museums, parks, art galleries..... Famous for its vivid nightlife, combines modern theatres with pubs, sharing the streets with old style bars with the reminiscences and charm of old Austria's Dynasty. The hospitality and warm character of its people will make it easy for you to make new friends. We are waiting for you to share this marvellous experience."
