SpainMadrid and neighboring areas |
This travelogue describes the fantastic eight days I spent in Madrid and its vicinity in October 1999. The individual pages have the pictures, but this overview page serves as index.
Madrid. To introduce the city, I will
quote one of its famous mayors:
Madrid has turned into the fable of Europe. It is called the capital of joy and contentment. Describing our city in such terms means that it is welcoming, cordial, peaceful, and universal. |
