Madrid, as capital of Spain and a first class European city, has for years been a center for meetings amongst artists and writers. In no other European capital will you find the city center so thronged so late into the night, as though some unwritten law forbade sleeping before dawn. The city is home to some of Europe's great landmarks, including The Plaza Mayor and The Puerta del Sol. Also located in Madrid is one of the world's greatest art museums, The Museo del Prado, home of great masterpieces by Goya, Velasquez, and El Greco, and many others. The 20th century started at a cultural zenith. Coffee shop meetings in the capital were common habit for the erudite; prosperity and the growth of the city become dormant with the construction of diverse buildings. To experience Madrid means to explore its restaurants and eateries, prop up its countless bars, and be swept up in the nocturnal madness of its music scene and clubs.
