Madrid Culture
|
|
Madrileños, as locals
in Madrid are called, share the qualities of other Spanish natives.
They are a passionate group of people who enjoy every facet
of life and live it to the fullest. This is evident in their
love for food and nightlife, local culture and all around quality
of life. Madrileños are also very sophisticated with
a keen sense of style and fashion, as their city is one of the
top fashion capitals in Europe. As one of the leading cosmopolitan
cities in the world, English |
is widely spoken, especially in the heavy tourist-populated areas
and sights. Like any other Spanish city, many of Madrid's shops close
for the afternoon for the traditional siesta. Most tourist sights,
however, remain open during this time.
