Welcome to Madrid Uno

Yet another guide to the city of Madrid!: Originally started as a blog, which is now hosted on Wordpress at Madrid Uno, the site is presented with an individual slant - it is a personal view of the city - so hopefully that means it is presenting something new to the web. Madrid is a great place. It has its frustrations and bad sides, like all cities, but the vast majority of madrileņos are friendly, there is a great energy about town, and there is a calm, measured pride in its institutions and environs. Plus, they party really hard. Like really, really hard.

If you haven't come here before than you should. If you already have, then you'll probably know what I'm on about. I hope the website gives a good flavour of Madrid. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you want to add anything or spot a mistake.

Bueno, pues nada, que aprovecheis!
