The Madrid region
Walking through Madrid, with the sun on your back, is perhaps one of the foremost reasons people like to visit Spain. Madrid is Spain’s capital city and is situated in the heart of the peninsula and right in the centre of the Castillian plain (646 meters above sea level). Over three million people reside in this sun-soaked city, and with clear skies, intriguing culture, and hot
The capital of Spain, located in the heart of the peninsula and right in the centre of the Castillian plain 646 meters above sea level, has a population of over three million. A cosmopolitan city, a business centre, 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. The grand metropolis of Madrid can trace its origins to the times of Arab Emir Mohamed I (852-886), who ordered the construction of a fortress on the left bank of the Manzanares river. Later it became the subject of a dispute between the Christians and Arabs until it was conquered by Alonso VI in the 11th century. At the end of the 17th century, a defensive wall was built for the protection of the new outlying areas, tracing the roads of Segovia, Toledo and Valencia. During the 18th century, under the reign of Carlos III, were designed the great arteries of the city, such as the Paseo del Prado and Paseo las Acacias. At the beginning of the 19th century, Joseph Bonaparte undertook the reform of the Puerta del Sol and vicinity. The commercial street known as the Gran Vía was built as an east-west avenue at the start of the century. In the 1950's the north-south boulevard called Paseo de la Castellana was extended and modern buildings were erected, housing the major financial institutions. Remainings of the distant past are mainly the Baroque and neoclassical strcutures of the 17th and 18th centuries, such as the Plaza Mayor (Main Square), the Palacio Real (Royal Palace) and others which will be described later during our guide of the city.

The entire palace is not open to the public, but most of the more important rooms can be visited. The palace is interesting in its own right, in particular its architecture and gardens (there are two, the Jardines del Moro and the Sabattini gardens). There are also some excellent frescos inside the palace by Tiépolo, and paintings by Velázquez, Goya, Rubens, El Greco, Juan de Flandes and Caravaggio, among others.

Testimonial date 22/09/2008 from Mr. HENRI K. Remarks "Très bel appartement, transport au pied de l'immeuble,commerces à proximité, autoroutes à proximité." Would you recommend this self catering rental to a friend ? Yes
Testimonial date 09/09/2008 from Miss Mariana C. Um pouco distante para quem pretenda ir à Madrid sem carro, mas há opções para quem pretenda chegar de transportes públicos. Indo de carro é a maravilha! Excellente apartamento, o proprietário e os funcionários do edifício são muito simpáticos, atmosfera bastante agradável. Totalmente em conformidade com o anúncio, ou até o supera.. Excellentes recordações que ficarão para sempre. Would you recommend this self catering rental to a friend ? Yes
Testimonial date 17/07/2008 from Miss lise l. "c'est un ravissant appartement joliment décoré où il fait bon vivre. En ce qui concerne la résidence, elle est très propre et surtout nous n'y avons trouvé aucunes mauvaises surprises, tout y est conforme à la description. Cependant dans cette même description il est question d'un DVD ainsi que d'un sèche-cheveux qui n'y sont pas. Tout de même il est important de préciser que l'appartement possède une magnifique terrasse qui est un énorme point fort étant bien situé par rapport au soleil et où l'on a une belle vue sur Carabanchel. Le centre de Madrid est assez loin de l'appartement il faut donc prendre le bus et le metro, si vous ne parlez pas très bien l'espagnol cela peut être un peu compliqué donc voici le parcours : - tout d'abord, juste à l'entrée de la résidence se trouve un arrêt de bus où des bus passent environ tous les 1/4 d'heures allez jusqu'à la plaza eliptica - en suite prenez le metro (ligne 6) jusqu'à pacifico - puis prendre la ligne 11 qui vous conduit dans le centre de Madrid ( les arrêts sont : anton martin , sol , gran via ...) ( en tout il y a environ 1h de trajet) De plus, aucun problème avec le loueur! agréable séjour grâce à homelidays !" Would you recommend this self catering rental to a friend ? Yes
