Located in the heart of Spain, Madrid, the capital
city, is also one of the 17 regions of Spain, and has
a climate characterized by warm dry summers and cool
winters.
Very few Spaniards speak English here, and a fair
knowledge of common Spanish words and phrases would
go a long way.
Though Madrid is culturally rich and abundant with
cathedrals, churches and colossal medieval architecture,
the region is swiftly moving into the cosmopolitan fervour.
Madrid city is famous for its love of exuberant nightlife
which is known to carry on till early mornings.
Lovers of food and wine must try Cocido Madrileño,
asparagus from Aranjuez, Vinos de Madrid, Anisado de
Chinchón and a traditional sweet called Roscos de Santo
