Madrid

Madrid, is a melting pot of international culture, architecture and design, ancient history and traditional monarchy, and, lest we forget, delicious food.

The autonomous community of Madrid has much more to offer than the most populous and exciting city of Spain. It is also a place of stunning natural beauty and variety: the rugged mountain ranges to the North are snow tipped in winter and a playground for hikers and rock climbers throughout the year. The extensive wine country to the South and West is home to full-bodied red wines but also very interesting whites, and there are olive fields as far as the eye can see. The Tagus river to the South is one of the main rivers of Spain. Many lakes of different sizes enable outdoor fans to do all sorts of water activities. Imposing castles and ancient fortresses are omnipresent.

Andulacía

It boasts countless cross-currents of different cultures, which have yielded a unique culture of its own. From Islamic palaces to Christian cathedrals, delicious food, and the captivating dance of Flamenco, Andalucía fully embraces its heritage, giving visitors a chance to travel into the past while remaining in the present.

Andalucía was under Islamic authority, at times fully and others partly, for nearly eight centuries. During a majority of that time, Andalucía was the most cultured and economically advanced region in Europe. The Islamic influence left from centuries of control left a strong imprint on Andalucian life that is still present to this day. Andulacía manifests is wonderful cultural influences through marvelous monuments such as Granada’s Alhambra, Córdoba’s great Mezquita, and Seville’s Alcázar.
