| Madrid Travel Guide for backpackers |
| This is truly the city that never sleeps, the people are among the friendliest in the world and from the minute you arrive till the moment you have to leave you are made to feel like one of the locals. The nightlife is mind-blowing and you almost feel like it is against the law to go to bed at an early hour. If propping up bars and dancing till the early hours of the morning are what your soul is yearning for then Madrid is the place to unleash the party dawg in you. |
