* El Madrid Medieval
The walk starts in the Arabic district, Barrio de la Moreria, where the Moors had their law-court, and continues in three typical squares of the medieval Madrid: Plaza de la Paja, the commercial centre of that epoch, Plaza de San Andres and Plaza de Cruz Verde.
* El Madrid de los Austrias
"Madrid de los Austrias" is the name of a zone of Madrid referring the Habsburgo Age. Here you can find buildings and monuments dating back to the renaissance and baroque period such as Puerta del Sol, Plaza de las Descalzas Reales, the area of Las Cavas.
Puerta del Sol
This door was, in 15th century, the main entrance to Madrid. Today Puerta del Sol and the square, Plaza del Sol (redesigned between 1859 and 1868), are the very centre of the city. The monumental clock and the statue of the bear and the strawberry tree (el oso y el madrono) are the symbols of Madrid.
* Museo del Prado
Perhaps the most beautiful neoclassic building of all Madrid. Built in 1785, it was intended to be a museum of natural history. Having been used as an arsenal during the wars against Napoleon, it became Madrid's Museum of art in 1819. Certainly it hosts one of the most important collections of paintings worldwide, with special rooms for masters like Goya, Velazquez, El Greco, Zurbaran, Murillo and Tiziano, as well as for representants of the Dutch school.
* Museo Reina Sofia
This modern building, featuring interesting expositions since 1993, completes the "Arts Triangle" of the Prado museum.
* Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza
In this museum, which was inaugurated in 1993, is exposed one of the most important private arts collections.
* Plaza de Oriente
This square, east of the Royal Palace, was designed at the time of Joseph Bonaparte, who took over the government after the victory of his brother Napoleon against Spain. The French wanted to build a wide boulevard in the style of the Champs Elysees in Paris, but the project was never completed.
* Puerta de Alcala
The Door of Alcala is a beautiful triumphal arch made by Francisco Sabatini in 1778, after the arrival in Madrid of King Charles III.
* Plaza y fuente de Las Cibeles
This beautiful fountain, built on a project by Ventura Rodriguez, is considered as one of the most representative monuments of Madrid.

The straw donkey and sombrero image of Spain is now largely consigned to the bin - along with the paella and chips. In its place comes a sheaf of sparkling and evocative new images, as the visitor trend turns from sun-and-fun package holidays to individually tailored, more sophisticated themes.
Spain is a country on the move, a place of rapid change. High-speed railways have conquered the country’s mountainous terrain and many cities now have modern metro and tram networks, testifying to a vibrant and growing economy. But here, too, you will find a country where
time stands still, where Romancolumns rise into a clear blue sky, where crumbling Arab watchtowers maintain a lonely vigil over vast and magnificent landscapes, and city plazas where the baroque jostles with the modern to strike a uniquely Spanish harmony.
The historic cities of Spain are drenched in the atmosphere of the past, but well equipped to meet modern needs as well. The countryside is infinitely varied, from the ‘Green Spain’ of the rugged Atlantic coast to the parched plains of Castile and La Mancha. The open roads across endless open spaces produce a steady stream of surprises, with hidden villages and unexpected castles, shepherds roaming with their flocks and hilltop windmills appearing unexpectedly. It is a great country for touring.
Rich in history and natural beauty and with more than a fair share of sunshine Spain is a year-round, natural choice for many different kinds of holiday, from outdoor adventures to world-class museums and art galleries to an infinite variety of popular beaches and secluded coves. Not least the people are warm and welcoming - and they know how to party. The Spanish experience would be incomplete without joining in at least one of its famous fiestas.
Geography Spain shares the Iberian Peninsula with its smaller neighbor, Portugal, and is bordered to the northeast by the Pyrenees Mountains, which separate Spain from France. The Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera), 193km (120 miles) southeast of Barcelona, and the Canary Islands off the west coast of Africa are part of Spain, as are the tiny enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla on the North African mainland.
Mainland Spain is the second highest and most mountainous country in Europe, with an average height of 610m (2,000ft). The Pyrenees stretch roughly 400km (249 miles) from the Basque Country’s Atlantic coast, eastwards to the Mediterranean Sea. In places the peaks rise to over 1,524m (5,000ft), the highest point being 3,404m (11,169ft). The main physical feature of Spain is the vast central plateau, or Meseta, divided by several chains of sierras. The higher northern area includes Castile and León, the southern section comprises Castile/La Mancha and Extremadura. In the south, the high plains rise further at the Sierra Morena before falling abruptly at the great valley of The Guadalquivir.
Southeast of Granada is the Sierra Nevada, part of the Betic Cordillera, which runs parallel to the Mediterranean, rising to 3,478m (11,411ft) at the summit of Mulhacen, the highest point on the Spanish peninsula (the Pico del Teide on Tenerife in the Canaries is the highest peak in Spain at 3,718m (12,198ft). The Mediterranean coast extends 1,660km (1,030 miles) from the French frontier to the Straits of Gibraltar, the narrow strip of water linking the Mediterranean with the Atlantic and separating Spain from North Africa.
