  • Plaza Mayor is my most favourite spot in Madrid, And its not difficult to see why. Always bustling even at midnight, it's a good way to see Madrileños enjoy themselves.

    There are lots of cafes around the huge plaza. But things are no doubt more expensive there. A good idea would be to bring along a picnic and just sit yourselves in the centre. Day or night, you would love the atmosphere at Plaza Mayor!

  • If you are in Madrid, why not take some time to explore the nearby towns as well? Its central location makes Madrid a good place for setting base.

    There is so much to see in these towns. I took 3 separate daytrips out and had fun exploring them by foot.

    I have put up tips (look under Transportation) on how to get to each of these towns from Madrid. Enjoy!

     Hi Sunset, Enjoyed your Madrid page, brought back memories of the 1 hour we had in Madrid in 1993 waiting for a train to Alicante.
