Popular Tourist Attractions in Madrid

[Maria P. Shaver]

Madrid could be the capital and largest city of Spain, in addition to the capital of the autonomous community of the exact same name (Comunidad de Madrid). The populace of the town is roughly 3.3 million with a metro area population of almost 6.5 million. Madrid is better noted for its great cultural and artistic heritage, an example of which is the El Prado Museum. Madrid also boasts some of the liveliest nightlife in the world.Madrid is found just northeast of the geographical center of the Iberian Peninsula, in the center of the Spanish central Castillian plateau (Meseta central), at the average altitude of 650m. As home to Madrid's two top attractions – beautiful Retiro Park and the world-renowned Prado Museum – the charming Retiro neighborhood is just a required destination. As the city's main green space and the surrounding area used to be an elegant preserve, nowadays the Retiro neighborhood is filled with 19th century architecture, leafy boulevards and regal statues.

The climate of Madrid is continental; mainly dry and quite extreme at times. Madrid sees perpetual sunshine, a characteristically hot and dry summer, and a reasonably cold winter with frequent frosts at night time and the sporadic snowfall. Spring and autumn are mild most abundant in rainfall concentrated in these seasons. Spring and autumn are the very best times to visit, especially the months of April, May, June, September and October. There is very little rainfall during summer and also less rainfall during winter. The Retiro park in Madrid is one of many must-see attractions. As the neighborhood's attractions draw folks from throughout the world, the region is surprisingly mostly residential. So, while there is no overwhelming amount of restaurants where to choose, those who have made their homes in the Retiro neighborhood are generally fine establishments that are highly appreciated.
