The Gran Via of Madrid and the nearby streets are teemed with restaurants where to taste any kind of national and international speciality.
Plaza de Espana, Catedral de Almudena
Although the construction of the Almudena Cathedral did not start until the 19th century, its story begins in the 16th century, when the king of Spain decided that Madrid was going to be the Spanish capital city (1561). He thought that it needed a Cathedral, but it was only during the reign of Felipe IV (17th century), when Elisabeth of Borbon, the king's wife, donated the necessary money to build a Cathedral dedicated to the Virgin of the Almudena. However, the works did not start until 1883, and the Cathedral was finally consecrated only in 1993.
Palacio Real
The Royal Palace was built on the site where once stood the Alcazar of Madrid, the famous castle built at the end of the 9th century during the reign of Mohammed I, Emir of Cordoba, as a key position for the defense of the territories north of Toledo. In the 16th century Charles V and Philip II rebuilt it as a Royal Palace, and in 1561 the Alcazar became the permanent residence of the Kings.
Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza
The best western painting from the Middle Ages to the 1970s. The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection, comprising nearly 800 works, is one of the most important private collections of Western art. Collected during two generations by Baron Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza and his son, Hans-Heinrich, this knockout collection was permanently installed in Madrid in 1992 and has since then enjoyed great success and critical acclaim.
Related Spain Content
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.
