MadridMadrid is located to the south of the mountains of "Guadarrams" at 2.100 metres above sea level, and along the sides of the "Manzanares" river. The population of the City is in the region of five million. The climate is relatively cooled by cool mountain breezes during its hot summers . Its palaces, many museums and art galleries provide a feast for modern culture lovers. The city also prides itself on its vibrant range of nightlife. During recent decades there has been much reconstruction and many of the older parts of the city have inevitably changed their face. The old centre can be assumed to have been the square Puerto del Sol area which is hard to judge today with its modern buildings. The financial centre is in the western end of the Calle de Alcala More than 100 banks have their offices in these very costly and pretentious buildings. The Calle Gran Via is a fine mixture of hotels, shops,restaurants,bars,heatres,andnightclubs.Madrid is a city with a relatively short history in comparison to other capitals in Europe but in it has acquired artistic possessions that justify its place in culture. There are many fine museums amongst which should be especially noted are those devoted to exceptional good art collections, both by Spanish artists and works from Holland and Italy.
