Take a pin and stick it in the centre of Spain, and you've pretty
much got Madrid. Now stick that same pin in the centre of Madrid
and you should have the Puerta del Sol, the point from which distances
to all corners of the country are measured, and a reminder of the
city's importance both past and present. Madrid stands up for all
that is Spain, be it culture, art, museums or shopping, but more
than this it exudes an energy and flair quite unlike any other capital.
The red brick of the Plaza Mayor, the clowns in El Retiro park,
traffic at 4am, the flea market, cracked nutshells on the floor,
turrón and Goya…Madrid is many things to many people,
but maybe it's this very hotchpotch that puts such rhythm in Spain's
heart.
