The capital of
Spain, located in the heart of the peninsula and right in the
center of the Castillian plain 646 meters above sea level, has
a population of over three million. A cosmopolitan city, a
business center, headquarters for the Public Administration,
Government, Spanish Parliament and the home of the Spanish
Royal Family, Madrid also plays a major role in both the
banking and industrial sectors. Most of its industry is located
in the Southern fringe of the city, where important textile,
food and metal working factories are clustered. Madrid is
characterized by intense cultural and artistic activity and a
very lively nightlife.

Madrid is not
just a cultural destination. It is also a lively metropolis
with many pubs, cafes, discotheques and nightclubs open late
into the night. Don't be surprised if you get stuck in a
traffic jam at four in the morning, and the people you meet are
not necessarily going off to work.
The climate of
Madrid is continental; mainly dry and quite extreme at times,
with frequent rain in winter. Madrid sees perpetual sunshine
and a characteristically hot temperature in the summer, but
with a fairly cold temperature in the winter. Spring and autumn
are fairly temperate with most rainfall concentrated in these
seasons, together with winter. Spring is definitely the best
time to visit, especially the months of April and May. Rainfall
occurs sporadically, and snowfall is not something that happens
every year in the city, but there is abundant snowfall in the
adjacent mountain ranges nearby.
