MADRID | Spain
Madrid is the capital city of Spain (1.000.000 people from morocco in the country) with about 4 million people and 6 million people in metropolitan area.
The city was founded in IX century by the arabs who invaded the southern and central Spain ( these arabs where not from morocco and even not from Africa, they where from the glorious Bagdad, and some centuries later warriors from morocco leaded by a tirano destroyed its own kingdom, AL-ANDALUS, even more splendorous than any other empire on the earth), but now Madrid has not anything which could remind us that this city was founded by the arabs( the city was arab for 200 years or less) on the place where was built the original castle there is now an impressive palace. MADRID is being presented......: The forests of Madrid region: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And what we firstly see is: ![]() ![]() ![]() El Paseo del Prado: Museo del Prado ![]() ![]() ![]() Sculpture in Paseo del Prado ![]() Post office in Paseo del Prado ( that huge building) ![]() ![]() ![]() Paseo del Prado and on the right the bothanic garden ![]() Ministery of agriculture ![]() Reina Sofia museum MNCARS ![]() ![]() ![]() Thyssen Bornemitsza museum ![]() Cibeles, a city symbol ![]() Retiro park: Big monument for Alphonso XII in retiro park lake ![]() The little lake in autumn ![]() Cristal palace ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The only city monument dedicated to the devil in the world ![]() ![]() ![]() Alcalá street The Alcalá Gate, a city symbol ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Bank of Spain ![]() Alcala st. vs Gran via ![]() Art centre of the city ![]() GRAN VIA ![]() ![]() Madrid' times square called callao square ![]() ![]() ![]() Plaza de Espańa(at the end of Gran Via and begining of Princess st. ![]() ![]() Puerta del Sol ![]() Mayor square ![]() ![]() Royal Palace ![]() TO BE CONTINUED....

Beautiful city !

Then I fell asleep in her arms. That was happiness then. - Harold Brodkey |
