Madrid
MADRID - BEST RESTAURANTS, HIPPEST NIGHT CLUBS & TOP HOTELS
Introduction
The capital of Spain, seat of the government and the political center of Spain - that is Madrid. But it would not be Madrid without the lovely monarch family with its young representer of the country, Felipe, the Prince of Asturias, and Letizia, Princess of Asturias. If you don't mind long discussions with your female friend, go and visit the traditional Bullfighting event, where one or more bulls are ritually killed in a bullring. The most famous "bullring" in Spain is the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas which is located in the centre of Madrid. Best time of the year is in May and June during the San Isidro Festival where fights are taking place daily during three weeks. Not to neglect the cultural highlights of the city and nightlife of the Madrilenos. Follow their credo: By day, visit all extravagant palaces, majestic plazas, museums and parks but by night, party like a Madrileño and follow their passion for decadent nightlife.
