Madrid's vitality and character will soon have you hooked.
This is Spain's headiest city, where the revelling lasts long into the night and life is seized with the teeth and both hands. Strangers quickly become friends, passion blooms in an instant, and visitors are swiftly addicted to the city's charms.
Madrid may not have the Roman origins that get city historians hot and bothered, and it may be a comparative parvenu, selected from rural obscurity to become the capital only in the second half of the 16th century, but it oozes an ebullience that rarely fails to move.
Entertainment & Night Life
The cliché is true: Madrileños don't end the night until they've killed it. Make merry via a plethora of bars, great gay nightlife, all-night-long dance clubs, and a whirl of flamenco, jazz, salsa and rock venues. And there's plenty of old-fashioned entertainment for opera, theatre and dance buffs.
