Madrid

Madrid, Spain’s central capital, is a city of elegant boulevards and expansive, manicured parks such as the Buen Retiro. This famous city is home to two world-famous football clubs, Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.

The Spanish capital comes alive at night. Locals normally go to restaurants after 10 pm. And then at this time, they all suddenly become packed. In Plaza Mayor look out for the old bakery with the design of the white cats. These white cats represent the people of the city, nocturnal creatures to say the least.
