City of Destination
The city of Madrid doesn’t have its historical root from the rival of Rome, Location wise it lays at the centre of Iberian Peninsula. The4 city was selected as the capital from the rural obscurity in the second half of the 16th century. The north of the city is dominated by skyscrapers and modern high-tech buildings that bustle with the people who are endeavoring to carry out the Prime Minister’s promise that Madrid will become a “world power in the millennium”. To the west lies the Casa de Campo, a beautiful and wild landscape and to the south, far away from the glittering hotels and restaurants, are the poorer areas filled with a myriad of different nationalities. The visitors can navigate the city for the beautiful avenues, 19th century’s districts and Baroque and neoclassical structures, such as the Plaza Mayor (Main Square) and the Palacio Real (Royal Palace). Alternatively, wile away an afternoon in the labyrinthine 17th century and stopping to sip cool drinks at the tabernas - typically Spanish bars that are often delightfully decorated. It will be good experience for those who are art buff and interested in aesthetic to check out the city’s galleries and museum.Outside Madrid there are plenty of places to explore in the surrounding countryside. Why not travel to Toledo - one of the most beautiful and legendary cities in Spain - with its maze of winding streets, hidden squares, ancient fort and spectacular views courtesy of its hilltop location
