Madrid, what a beautiful city! The architecture is wonderful, the people are friendly, it is easy to navigate, and it doesn't seem so crowded for such a big city. I love it. Miguel's place was perfect; spacious, clean, quiet and a great location. Most of the main attractions are within walking distance. The only time we used the metro was to go the Faro de Moncloa (92 meter high observation tower) and the Bernabeu Stadium.
