SURROUNDINGS

Madrid, the capital of Spain, a cosmopolitan city stands out for successfully combining its modern infrastructures with one of the largest and most important historical areas in Europe, making it one of the most important cities in the occidental world. 

The "aristocratic centre" is located near the Plaza Mayor, where the Royal Palace, the Plaza de Oriente, the Opera theatre and the modern Almudena Cathedral are all located. The "Art Walk" with incredible museums, palaces and gardens sum up this choice of monuments which also includes the Bank of Spain building, the Telecommunications Palace and the Cibeles and Neptuno fountains. 

Wonderful parks and gardens, such as the Retiro Park, the area where in the past Spanish kings & queens chose to rest, the Casa de Campo, and Juan Carlos I park, all allow visitors to enjoy the sun, walk and row across ponds in one of the greenest capitals of Europe.
