Madrid and its beauty

#passionpassport Madrid is a great capital to visit and perfect for a city break. It is a vibrant city with a busy nightlife and amazing architecture worth seeing. Some of the highlights include the Royal Palace of Madrid, beautiful central squares including Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol, Gran Vía street (the “Spanish Broadway”) and Madrid’s most famous park El Retiro Park. Madrid is the capital and most-populous city of Spain. With a population of 3.4 million and a metropolitan area population of approximately 6.7 million, this is one of the biggest cities in the European Union. Madrid lies on the River Manzanares in the centre of both the country and the Community of Madrid region. In addition to being the capital city of Spain and residence of the Spanish monarch, Madrid is also the political, economic and cultural centre of the country. It is located in the middle of Spain, with Puerta del Sol (Km 0) being the very centre of Spain. The city has a continental Mediterranean climate. The time zone is GMT+1. As in most European countries, the local currency is the euro (EUR). #madrid #spain #citybreak #weekendbreak
