Madrid - "Movida" and more!

Essential visits include an afternoon admiring the collections at the El Prado Museum, with masterpieces on display from artists such as Velazquez, Goya, Raphael, Rembrandt and Botticelli, or contemporary works at the Reina Sofia Museum including Picasso’s Guernica. Also essential is a day at El Rastro flea market, with everything under the sun on offer. Madrid is a city that provokes the senses and has a place for everyone, from the sedate, tranquil El Retiro Park and well-to-do Salamanca district to down-to-earth, multicultural Lavapies, the upbeat, bohemian Chueca with its well-established gay and lesbian community and the rebellious Malasaña, whose Plaza Dos de Mayo became a focal point for the famous "Movida Madrileña", the energetic post-dictatorship Madrid scene that spawned a new generation of artists, musicians and filmmakers, including the Oscar-winning Pedro Almodóvar.
Madrid is also home to the inimitable Real Madrid FC, whose wordwide army of fans have been enthralled over the years by legends such as Puskas, Di Stefano, Zinedine Zidane and David Beckham, and winners of 31 domestic titles, 17 Spanish Cups plus picking up a record 9 Champions League titles along the way.
