Madrid is the capital of Spain and is in fact the highest capital of Europe in altitude (around 760m).
Places we recommend you to see in Madrid: · Plaza de España · Palacio de Oriente · Plaza Mayor · Sol · Gran Vía · Puerta Alcala · Museo del Prado — classic · Museo Thyssen Bornemiza — collection · Museo Reina Sofia — modern art · Estadio Vicente Calderon. Home to Atletico de Madrid Football Club - ( the only football team of Madrid, hehe) · And an Atleti footbal match if there is one that weekend! · Parque del Retiro · The Rastro (only Sundays) · A long walk from Atocha to Plaza Castilla · The tapas at night in the neighborhood of the Venue · El Escorial (50km out of Madrid) · Toledo (80Km out of Madrid) · Avila (120km out of Madrid) · The mountains (55km out of Madrid) - if it was winter I would suggest a ski day :-) but a nice x-country walk is also spectacular. · With kids: Parque de Atracciones de Madrid. An amusement park (ask Izaskun there might be discounts) · With kids: The Zoo of Madrid: one of the best in the world
