I lived overseas for over 20 years in numerous cities on 4 continents. Loved them all, but by far, Madrid was my favorite. I lived there for 5 1/2 years and loved it. The people were very friendly and generous, the food and variety of it was great, eating 5 meals a day with the largest in the middle and the others all smaller is much healthier, the cultural aspects are plentiful from the Prado to the outdoor Sculpture Museum under an underpass on a main thoroughfare, a world class zoo, Plaza ...

I was stationed in Madrid with the USAF from Feb 1963 until November 1966. Madrid is one of the most beautiful cities in all of Europe.

We visited a tapestry factory in Madrid that took us back centuries; some of the weavers had worked there for 20, 30, 40 years. Toledo, an ancient walled city, was a 40-minute drive outside of Madrid and a real treat. Can't say en ... Read Full Review | Report This

My wife and I went to Spain for our honeymoon at the end of December '06 and early January '07. Our first stop was Madrid, and if it hadn't been for rain dealys in Dallas, we would have arrived in Madrid some minutes before the terrorist group ETA bombed the airport. When we arrived at the airport, there was smoke everywhere and huge, huge lines to get out. We had no idea what had happened because no one seemed to be concerned about it. It wasn't until we finally made it out and into a taxi, ... Read Full Review | Report This
