Strolling through Madrid is a great way to see the lavish Royal Palace, the 16th-century Puerta del Sol (Sun's Gate) marking the center of Spain, the old Moorish quarter of Moreria and much more. Art enthusiasts flock to the world famous Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza and Reina Sofia museums. Families enjoy boating in Retiro Park and visiting the zoo and the amusement park in Casa de Campo (not really that great). After eating paella and tapas and watching flamenco, night owls can dance at clubs that are open until dawn... nice!

Alex and 'Maman' by Louise Bourgeois. Outside the Louvre. We had a few hours in Paris before catching the overnight train to Madrid... so it would have been rude not to have done a bit of sightseeing!
...Madrid rocks!
