Madrid is a city that never ceases to attract tourists all year round. It is situated in the centre of Spain. There are an abundance of things to do such as visiting museums and palaces or soaking up some hard earned sunshine.
Madrid is also an excellent spot for shopping as well as been renowned for its lively nightlife which centers around the Plaza de Santa Ana. Many people say that the night does not really get going in Madrid til after midnight.
For those who prefer a relaxing holiday there are lots of great restaurants in Madrid catering for all food types during the day and late into the night. Tapas bars are everywhere in the city and are a good option whatever your budget is. As always when in a new city I would suggest trying some of the local specialties such as lacón which is a smoked gammon dish and Cocido Madrileño (vegetable stew). It’s also well worth choosing a seafood restaurant for dinner on at least one night of your stay.
In a historical city such as Madrid there are plenty of sites to visit for those with an interest in art and culture. One of the most popular stops is Plaza Mayor which is over two hundred years old. In Museo del Prado you can find work from such famous names as Rubens and Goya.
If you want to get away from the buzzing city life for a while then head for El Retiro which is a nice place for some relaxation time.
