Welcome to Madrid ... at your Feet!
The city of Madrid is currently a large, cosmopolitan and pulsing capital that attracts visitors and new residents from all over the world ... But Madrid deeps its cultural and historical roots back in time and, over the centuries, this landlocked city learned to preserve its castizo
traditional flavour from when it was a village, and mix it up into a delicious cocktail along with a dose of regal character, the sparkling lightness of the spirits and plenty of notes of bon-vivant
attitude. Madrid is a paradigm for reinvention, and still catches locals and visitors showing up its superb heritage hand in hand with a daring sense of modernity.
The Madrileños, today like yesterday, belong to any other place and also to Madrid; they enrich this vibrant city with their talent and diversity. After all this time, Madrid remains as it has always been, a destination, a chance, a beginning and an end, where everyone has their place... And now it is welcoming you!
"Madrid, Madrid, ¡qué bien tu nombre suena
rompeolas de todas las Españas!
La tierra se desgarra, el cielo truena,
tú sonríes con plomo en las entrañas."
Antonio Machado, November 7th, 1936.
