Madrid is known as the city of fountains. I would call it the city that never sleeps. Madridlenos know how to enjoy life and they make a full time profession of it.
Madrid rates right up with Paris for beautiful, monumental cities. Every where you look in the city center you great architecture, fountains and monuments.
- Pros:Beautiful Monumental Architecture, great nightlife
- Cons:starving half to death waiting till 10 PM to eat
- In a nutshell:When do these people sleep?
