Madrid, the Capital of Spain and historical seat of Kings, is a glittering modern European metropolis. The city of three million people is placed on a plateau, some 700 meters above sea level, making it the highest Capital of Europe. Because of its altitude, the climate is characterized by warm and dry summers and cool winters.
Madrid was little more than a fortified village when King Felipe II decided in the year 1561 to make it the permanent capital of the Spanish empire. With the arrival of Carlos III in the 18th century, the city was further developed and it was during this era that the Palacio Real was built.
Leaving aside the great art museums and the splendour of the Plaza Mayor, the Palacio Real and the Parque del Retiro, the essence of Madrid lies in the life on the streets. In no other European Capital will you find the city centre thronged so late into the nights as here, especially on weekends. Everyone seems to stay out late and in this sense it is a city more to be lived than seen.
