Visit Madrid
On first impressions of Madrid you may wonder when anything gets done! Madrilenos, as the city’s residents are called, seem to spend most of their time eating, drinking and enjoying life. Their long lunches are legendary, they spend their evenings hopping from tapas bar to tapas bar, and eventually - sometimes as late as midnight - they get around to eating dinner.
If you stop in at any of the city’s countless bars, restaurants and cafes or simply pause to listen to the troubadours as you’re walking the narrow streets of old Madrid, you’ll see how the city reflects a little bit of each of Spain’s varied cultures. It is truly the heart of Spain. You will also find plenty of intellectual stimulation at some of the best museums in Europe like the Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen Bornemizsa. And if it's sport you are after then maybe a visit to the Bernabeau Stadium is a possiblity to see Beckham, Ronadlo, Carnevaro et al!
Local Cuisine
Madrid offers a truly diverse range of cuisines within the city. Galician, Andalucian, Catalan, Navarran, Basque, Valencian, Murcian and Asturian cooking is available, a product of the vast amount of Spanish Immigrants. Cuisines from all over the world can be found here, whether North African, French and Indian; however the local tapas and seafood dishes should not be overlooked.
