Madrid, the capital of Spain, truly impacts visitors with its welcoming warmth and beauty. Imagine walking down a narrow cobblestone street, pausing to look towards the cloudless sky. Overhead, countless flowering balconies line the walls of an 18th century building. You hear flamenco music in the plaza around the corner. Melodic rhythm of the Spanish language fills your ears. You are in Madrid, city of culture, energy, art, excitement and romance.
Enjoying many more clear, sunny days than any other city in Western Europe, Madrid is noted for her "Velázquez skies" or "Velasqueños", named after the world famous Spanish painter. Situated on the Castillian Meseta, Madrid overlooks the nearby Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range where pine groves purify the air and provide majestic views.

May and October are considered the best months for touring Spain. June, July, August or September, while crowded, are best months for the beach. Winters in Spain are cold.
