Madrid

Madrid is Europe's highest capital and has an extraordinary quality of light and a dramatic atmosphere that has inspired painters through the ages. Viejo (old) Madrid is a maze of picturesque streets, featuring everything from traditional Spanish fans and lace, to luxury boutiques.

There are splendid palaces and art galleries, particularly the stunning Museo de Prado.
