If there is one place where all the most appealing features of Spain and the Spaniards are to be found, it is definitely the Madrid region. Home to Spain’s capital, and the economic driving force of the country, the region provides an all-round offer of options for tourists to satisfy the wide range of tastes of the millions of people who visit each year: from the intense cultural and artistic life to be found in its over one hundred museums through to the varied offer of shows and concerts to be seen in its theatres and auditoriums, as well as the chance to explore genuinely unspoilt natural and scenic spaces.
And in addition to all this, it has a historic and artistic heritage of unsurpassed richness which can be seen, not only in its museums and art galleries, but also in its buildings, monuments and streets. The Madrid region is continually changing thanks to the drive and vitality of its inhabitants. Thanks to the work of architects such as Richard Rogers, Rafael Moneo, Norman Foster and Zaha Hadid. Tradition and the avant-garde live peacefully side by side, leading the way to a cosmopolitan, dynamic and modern society.
The Madrid region also offers a range of leisure options to satisfy everyone, thanks to its thousands of bars, discos and restaurants, and its numerous theme parks to delight younger visitors. Here in this region you can enjoy the experience of shopping without leaving the historic areas of the city, and browse in shops offering the biggest names in Spanish and international design.
In addition to culture and leisure tourism, the diversity of the options available to visitors can be seen in the extensive network of facilities on offer for congresses and conventions, making the capital of Spain one of Europe’s major meeting and business centres. All this is underpinned by the spectacular modernisation of the region’s infrastructures, with a remodelled road network and the extension of its underground system and airport, which has become one of the most important in Europe.
The hospitality and openness of the Madrid region and its combination of tradition and modernity all go to make it a destination not to be missed for anyone who wishes to enjoy a real all-round experience during their visit.
