The City of Madrid: You will hear some "madrileños" proudly say, "from Madrid to Heaven". Perhaps they are exaggerating "un poquito", but Madrid is certainly a charming and seductive city. The Salamanca district, a bustling area of restaurants, bars, tapas bars and stores, also has the best shopping in the city. Exploring the city after school reveals much more.

Madrid's museums are world-class: the Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza, the Royal Palace and the National Archaeological Museum are only the most famous.

Culturally, Madrid thrives, with many theatres and cinemas, a concert hall, music clubs and art galleries. Madrid is the birthplace of "la marcha", the intense nightlife of the madrileños. The city centre is filled with all kinds of clubs for dancing, socialising and people-watching right through the night.

Madrid is a mixture of centuries-old traditions and modern metropolis, well reflected in the films of Pedro Almodovar. Madrid has always captivated creative people: Hemingway, Francis Bacon, Ava Gardner and Miles Davis have all fallen in love with the Spanish capital.

Madrid lies in the geographical centre of Spain at an altitude of 600 m and has a dry continental climate. In summer, temperatures can reach 35º Celsius, while in winter, the temperature can occasionally drop below freezing at night. Thanks to the dry climate, the heat in Madrid is quite bearable. Madrid has excellent transport links with the rest of Spain, making it the perfect base from which to explore other regions.
