Madrid

Madrid is the heart of Spain in which people seem to spend most of your time eating, drinking and enjoying life. The long lunches are legendary, they spend their evenings hopping from tapas bar to tapas bar and sometimes as late as midnight get around to eating dinner. Madrilenos love passion and drama, from El Greco's mystical paintings to the mournful beauty of flamenco to the intense pas de deux of matador and bull, apart from living with a bureaucratic, slothful or superficial nature.
