One of the most visited cities in the world - Palaces, plazas and warm-hearted people - Madrid has the lot!
Once upon a time it was the capital of the mightiest Empire on earth and is still adorned with the riches of those wondrous days. One of the simplest and most enjoyable things you can do when renting a holiday apartment in Madrid is ‘paseo’- simply stroll around the streets in the centre, soaking up the atmosphere as you come across amazing architecture and an abundance of interesting relics from its magnificent past.
Madrid lies at the highest altitude of any capital in Europe, at 667m above sea level and is a city that prides itself on its eclectic history that can be traced back over 2000 years. Today, it is also known for its expansive boulevards and abundant parks - rumour has it that there are more trees in Madrid than locals!
