Madrid
About 3.3 million people.
Madrid is the capital of Spain and the country's biggest, busiest city. Kings and queens have lived here for hundreds of years, and it is the place where big decisions for the whole country are made.
You can visit the huge Royal Palace, wander the giant Retiro Park and row a little boat on its lake, and see famous paintings in the Prado Museum. Do not miss the sunny Plaza Mayor for a snack.

Parks and nature
Retiro Park is a giant green playground with a lake, a glass palace, and peacocks strolling around. It is a favorite spot for families on sunny weekends.

Food
Madrid loves tasty little dishes called tapas, sweet fried churros dipped in thick hot chocolate, and a warm chickpea stew called cocido. There is something yummy on every corner.
