Madrid Province

Madrid Province, in the heart of Spain, is home to the capital city and offers a vibrant mix of history, culture, and modern life. While Madrid itself draws visitors with its world-famous museums, royal palaces, and lively atmosphere, the surrounding region reveals a quieter charm with historic towns and scenic landscapes.

Highlights include Alcalá de Henares, birthplace of Cervantes and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and El Escorial, a grand royal monastery reflecting Spain’s imperial legacy. The nearby Sierra de Guadarrama mountains provide a natural escape for hiking, skiing, and outdoor activities.

With excellent transport links and a central location, Madrid Province has long been a crossroads of Spanish life. Today, it blends tradition and modernity, offering something for every traveller—whether it’s art in the Prado, tapas in a village square, or exploring cobbled streets steeped in history.
