48 hours in the life of Madrid

Article Abstract:

It is particularly worthwhile visiting Madrid, Spain, in the early part of the year, when there are few tourists in the city. It is possible to reach Madrid very cheaply by air from the UK, and there is a wide range of accommodation in the city. The key destination is Gran Via, where there are many interesting shops and public buildings. It is worth visiting the Prado, which has top quality collections of works by Velazquez, Goya and El Greco. Interesting restaurants include La Toscana, where good food is available at very reasonable prices.
