Madrid, the largest and capital city in Spain. The city has many sites to see and, many museums to visit. Thought the real reason to visit Madrid is the nightlife. It is well known that the people in Madrid like to go out drink and dance all night, only stopping to go home shower and go to work. When the young people are not drinking in the clubs they often meet up with eachother in the parks where they drink, but recent developments has punished this and the younger crowd has gone to less popular places. If the night life isnt why your traveling to Madrid, head on over to Las Ventas, the largest bullring in Spain. From March till October there are many bull fights to be seen. Listing a few places to visit and some good sites to see while in Madrid, i would start with Puerto del Sol, Puerta de Europa, Plaza Mayor, Communications palace, and the Royal Palace of Madrid. Another place to go is Aranjuez is a town lying 48 km south of Madrid, in the southern part of the Community of Madrid. An excellent day trip with lots to see and is just over a half an hour south. (suggested 5 days)

 

The easiest way to travel outside of Madrid would be to take the train, which is easily accessible in Madrid, From here you can travel virtually anywhere in Spain under two hours. Unfortunatly there is not much to see outside of an hour from the greater city, at least that you can reach in a reasonable driving time. The prices to use the trains is fairly reasonable but we suggest getting there between 9am and 2pm if you would like to speak with an english attendant. This appears to be about the time that they staff these individuals. I regret that there is less for me to inform you about, if the sites you are seeking lie further out then we suggest looking into them yourselves, or posting to our log and we will look into them for you.
