Madrid Hotels
MadridSo you are planning to visit Madrid! If you do, prontohotel.com has a showcase over the spanish capital city. Madrid is the heart of Spain! And it wasn`t a case if this central position in this beautiful country was the reason why the Borbonic dynasty decided to establish here their court that, up to the election of Madrid as capital of their Reign in 1561, has been wandering court. Madrid is famous throughout the world for its "movida", term that nowadays indicates the crazy nights of the people of Madrid, that when Franco gave up his command over the country in 1975 described the social and cultural ferment for the refund freedom gained by the takeover of Monarchy over Franco`s regime. Here on prontohotel.com though we don`t want to talk only about Madrid`s Movida, even if it is almost impossible to find a club in Madrid that is not packed with people in the week ends or the streets of the city`s centre without youngsters having fun. Madrid can count upon some of the more precious masterpieces of art history, just think about the Prado Museum (do not forget that on Mondays mornings you will find it closed) with its Goya`s and Velasquez`s collections, or at the perfect gardens at the Parque del Buen Ritiro, at Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, at the magnificent buildings on Gran Via or on the Calle Mayor or at the Royal Palace. Madrid is all this and much more! What are you waiting for?
