It is Spain's largest city, with a population (city) of 3.228 million (July 2005) and 5.843 million (metropolitan area). Madrid is best known for its great cultural and artistic heritage, a good example of which is the El Prado museum.
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
Plaza Mayor, Metro:Sol or Opera. The best known plaza in Madrid, this impressive square is now one of the main stops on any tourist visit.
Puerta del Sol, Metro: Sol. This plaza is the "heart" of Madrid and one of the busiest places in the city. On the north side of the plaza there is a famous statue of an oso (bear) climbing the madroño tree, which is the symbol of Madrid.
Catedral de la Almudena. This massive cathedral can be found facing the Palacio Real. Finished in the end of 20th century, it is where the Princes of Asturias Felipe and Letizia were married in 2004.

El Rastro. Madrid's largest flea market, only open on Sunday mornings, featuring rows upon rows of private vendors selling a variety of homemade goods, and a wealth of live entertainment. It is very important to note that the Rastro is notorious for having an abundance of pickpockets, so watch your handbag closely and do not bring along valuables. The closest Metro station is La Latina.

The Palacio Real (Royal Palace) is an enormous palace, with scorching plains of concrete around it and the Real Armorial (Royal Armory), The Royal Palace is considered to be one of the most emblematic and beautiful

Festivals:
That are numerous sites that must be mentioned, such as the Park of Juan Carlos I, which is today one of the biggest areas of development. Within the enclosure are the fair grounds, which welcomes around 200 fairs a year and, therefore, holds massive attendance.
Prized as a vacation opportunity, Semana Santa – Holy Week – still remains one of the religious highlights of the year. Cofradías (fraternities) allied to churches take turns parading life-sized religious sculptures, usually of Christ and the Virgin. They shuffle slowly through the streets, drawing large and extremely lavishly decorated floats. Some of the most impressive include that of Jesús Nazareño el Pobre from the church of San Pedro el Viejo and many of the parades around the La Latina neighborhood. Churches host special masses, organ concerts and choral recitals.
