    I like Paris, I really do. From having spent some time there as a young student on holiday the memories are quite vivid and long-lasting.

    From the usual sort of student things such as sitting on the steps of Sacre-Coeur nursing the obligatory monumental hangover from having been partying too hard the night before.

  • Madrid City Breaks - Discovering the Undiscovered Madrid
    Madrid, Spain's capital, deserves respect having struggled hard to establish itself over the years throughout the troubled history of Spain.

    Madrid is fascinating, highly intriguing with wonderfully interesting people. There are those who sarcastically referred to Madrid as Spain's second city after Barcelona by and large those are the people that have never really got to know Madrid. Now I know Barcelona has the Cathedral, the Nou Camp Stadium and was the venue for the most recent Olympic Games to be held in Spain but to write Madrid off as Spain’s second city seems to miss the point completely.
  • Travel to the Spanish Capital Madrid
    Spain's capital, a city of over 3 million people, is situated close to the geographical centre of the country.

Given all that Barcelona has to offer and despite all this to write off the Madrid completely misses the point and at the end of the day it is Madrid that is at the centre of both the road and rail networks in Spain.
