simple:MadridThis is about the Spanish capital Madrid. For other entries, see Madrid (disambiguation).
The Puerta del Sol square, in the heart of the city The Plaza de Cíbeles square and the Palacio de Comunicaciones The Prado Museum Madrid is the capital of Spain. Built on the site of a Moorish fort called Magerit, Philip II of Spain chose it to replace Valladolid as the capital in 1561. (The capital returned to Valladolid during 1600-1606.) Due to this status, it grew into a flourishing city. Today it is culturally rivalled only by Barcelona.
Madrid is the capital not only of the country but also of the province and autonomía of Madrid.
Important cultural and tourist spots include the famous Prado Museum, the Thyssen Bornemisza Museum, the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia (where Pablo Picasso's Guernica hangs), the Casón del Buen Retiro, the Palacio Real, the Templo de Debod, the Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales, the Puerta del Sol, the Parque de Retiro, and the gay village of Chueca.
Other nearby towns are popular as day trips from Madrid, including Toledo, Segovia, Avila, Aranjuez, Alcalá de Henares, the monastery and palace complex of El Escorial, and the Santa Cruz del Valle de los Caídos.
Madrid is particularly noted for its nightlife and discotheques; it's not uncommon for madrileños to dance all night, head to the Chocolateria San Ginés for chocolate y churros at dawn, go home, shower, shave, and go to work. This nightlife, called la movida, flourished after the death of Franco.
Madrid is served by Barajas International Airport. Despite the city's population of some four million (the Madrilenians or madrileños), the Madrid metro is one of the most extensive and fastest-growing metro networks in the world.

It is coterminous with the province of Madrid, and contains the city of Madrid which is the capital of the province, the community, and the country.
Over half of the population live in the capital. Other cities located in the community include Alcala de Henares, San Lorenzo de El Escorial and Aranjuez. There are 179 municipalities in Madrid. See List of municipalities in Madrid.
Madrid is bordered by the autonomous communities of Castile-Leon (provinces of Ávila and Segovia) and Castile-La Mancha (provinces of Guadalajara, Cuenca, and Toledo).
Madrid was formerly considered part of New Castile (see Castile-La Mancha) but was made into its own community at the beginning of the autonomía system because of great economic disparity between Madrid and the Castilian-Manchego hinterland.

A typical Madrid metro entrance, at Tribunal station A modern metro train on line 9 The Madrid metro is the large metro system serving Madrid, the capital of Spain.
It is one of the largest metro systems in the world, which is especially remarkable considering Madrid's population of approximately four million. In fact, it is the sixth longest metro in the world, though Madrid is approximately the fiftieth most populous metropolitan area in the world. It is also one of the fastest growing in the world, rivalled only by Seoul; the latest round of expansions, completed in spring 2003, have increased its length to 223 kilometres.
The metro opened in 1919 under the direction of the Compañía de Metro Alfonso XIII. Metro stations served as air raid shelters during the Spanish Civil War.
Starting in the 1970s, it was sequentially greatly expanded to cope with the influx of population and urban sprawl from Madrid's economic ascendancy. A huge project in the late 1990s and early 2000s installed approximately 50 kilometres of new metro tunnels, including a direct connection between downtown Madrid and Barajas International Airport (line 8), and service to outlying areas, including a huge 40-kilometre loop called Metrosur (line 12) serving Madrid's southern suburbs.
Metrosur, the largest civil engineering project in Europe, opened on April 11, 2003. It includes 40.7 kilometres of tunnel and 28 new stations (including an interchange station and an additional station on Line 10, which connects it to downtown). Construction began in June 2000, the whole loop was completed in less than three years. It connects the towns of Getafe, Móstoles, Alcorcón, Fuenlabrada, and Leganés.
Madrid also has an extensive commuter train (Cercanías) network operated by Renfe, the national rail line, which is intermodal with the metro network. Several Cercanías transfer stations were included in Metrosur.
Madrid's metro consists of the following lines. See also List of Madrid metro stations.
