MADRID FOR FAMILIES

MADRID FOR FAMILIES

Few cities boast an artistic pedigree quite as pure as Madrid’s: many art lovers return here again and again. For centuries, Spanish royals showered praise and riches upon the finest artists of the day, from home-grown talents such as Goya and Velázquez to Flemish and Italian greats. Masterpieces by these and other Spanish painters such as Picasso, Dalí and Miró now adorn the walls of the city’s world-class musuems. Three in particular are in a league of their own – the Museo del Prado, Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza – but in Madrid these are merely good places to start.

Madrid has evolved into one of the richest culinary capitals of Europe. The city has wholeheartedly embraced all the creativity and innovation of Spain’s gastronomic revolution. But this acceptance of the new is wedded to a passion for the enduring traditions of Spanish cooking, for the conviviality of the eating experience and for showcasing the infinite variety of foods from every region in Spain.

Naturally, no stay in Madrid is complete without a visit to Toledo, less than 30 minutes by train from the Spanish capital, or Segovia, famed for its celebrated Roman acqueduct and architecture, and less than 90 minutes away from Madrid by car.
