Experience what Spain's hip capital has to offer! Located on a bleakly high plateau on the edge of theSierra Guadarrama mountains it once served as a Moorish fortress first settled during the 9th century.

It wasn’t until the middle of the 16th century that King Felipe II of Spain decided to leave Toledo and move his court to Madrid. Since then the history of Madrid has closely mirrored that of Spain with all its ups and downs. This, of course, included the long dictatorship of Francisco Franco which brought life in Madrid more or less to a stand still. After the dictator died, King Juan Carlos I reformed the country and turned it into a thriving democracy awakening Madrid. The Movida Madrileña, an art wave in the country’s capital during the 1980s, produced a lot of successful artists like famous filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar.
