¡Viva Madrid!
Madrid is the political, economical and social capital of Spain and is situated at the centre of the country. The habitants of Madrid are friendly, like to integrate with foreigners and show them their culture. In the many pubs, tapas bars, and street cafés, it is party-time 24-7, all year round. Centre of the city is Puerto del Sol. Every night thousands of Spaniards are gathering together around the clock tower. |

The many “plazas”, and several parks, of which Parque del Retiro is the most beautiful one, are giving the city a pleasant atmosphere. As the capital of Spain it is also the base for many multinationals and banks. It is by far the most important city that is functioning as a link between the European Union and Latin America, part because of the Spanish language. A destination with many interesting (internship) possibilities! |
