Madrid... I have lived in Madrid for 17 years almost and I never regret having done so.

Madrid is an excellent city that offers a variety of tourism for any culture. It has a great selection of good restaurants and bars that come from national selections to international/oriental gourmet but its all superb. The nightlife in Madrid is wonderful, having loads of bars and discotheques (many of them are huge).
The best thing for me is the "football life" as madrid has home to one of the most prestigious clubs in the world "Real Madrid".

Madrid is a city with many things to see and do and it offers a diverse range of activities and attractions, from museums to amusement parks.

If you were to visit Madrid I would recommend 5 things "must see".
-Plaza Mayor (many small typical spanish restaurants + shopping)
-Santiago Bernabeu (football stadium)
-Reina Sofia/El Prado (art museums)
-Parque Retiro/Parque Attraciones (1 is a nice park 2 is a nice amusement park)
-Zarzuela (typical spanish theatre act)

Madrid ranges from Modern to Medieval buildings and very expensive hotels.

Bullfighting is also amongst one of Spains and Madrids traditions, especially going to the arena and watching a live match... and lets not forget the beautiful TERMINAL 4 barajas... the architecture is simply amazing...
