Madrid Guide

While Madrid, capital of Spain, is modern and thriving, it preserves the look and feel of its historic neighborhoods and streets. Some must see sights are the massive Royal Palace of Madrid, the Teatro Real with its restored 1850 Opera House, the incredible Prado Museum, and the MNCARS with its dedication to Spanish artists and featuring of Picasso and Dali. Walking through the Old Town is also a treat. Sitting in a cafe or restaurant at the edge of Plaza Mayor, eating tapas, and soaking in the passers by and the historical buildings are a bit of a surreal feeling.
