traffic jam in Madrid
The capital of Spain since 1562, is located at the geographic center of the Iberian Peninsula. Because of its central location and high altitude, the climate of Madrid is characterized by warm dry summers and cool winters.
Madrid is a city of great monuments. Among its highlights are the medieval center dating back to the Habsburg Empire and the Prado Museum.
But Madrid is not just a cultural destination. It is also a lively metropolis with many pubs, cafes, discotheques and nightclubs open late into the night. Don't be surprised if you get stuck in a traffic jam at four in the morning,
The traffic system in Madrid is complex and demands careful planning if you are not familiar with the city. Once you have arrived, our main piece of advice is to leave your car in a safe place and use the public transport system. Although Madrid is an important city both politically and financially for the whole of Spain, its road signs are just not good enough, congestion is a major problem on access roads during rush hours and holiday periods, roadworks are seemingly never-ending and parking in the city center is limited and very expensive
The Paseo de la Castellana (See Paseo de la Castellana en Google Maps) is an easy way of getting your bearings in the capital as it crosses from the North to the South of the city. At its most Southern point, it continues as the Paseo del Pardo and later the Paseo de las Delicias.
