Madrid Travel Guide

Art and nightlife are the two main reasons to choose a holiday in Madrid, Spain's energetic capital. The city is compact and easy to navigate on foot - most of the sights of interest are found in the downtown area between the Royal Palace and Parque del Retiro.

About Madrid

Madrid covers an area of 234 square miles (607 square Km) and is estimated to have a population of 3.2 million people being one of the largest cities in Spain and also the residence of the spanish Royal family. The city sits atop a plateau and is the highest capital in Europe.

Shopping

Shopping in Madrid is very efficient and can still be done around small, specialized stores, and busy food markets. For those who prefer boutiques and specialty shops rather than department stores and supermarkets, then you should definitely make an effort to visit the different zones and take the time to explore the huge array of shops at your disposal. Although we can’t possibly do justice to the huge number of shops in the city, they tend to cluster together, so usually where we have only one shop listed, you will find many stores selling similar goods nearby.
