Question

【題目】 Look at a map of Spain and point at the center. You will locate the country’s capital and one of Europe’s most beautiful cities. This popular destination is considered a city with its historic sites and modern skyscrapers（摩天大廈）.

History

This city of over 3 million people is proud of Western Europe’s largest royal palace, and some considered it to be Madrid’s most beautiful building.

Inside the Royal Palace, 2800 rooms are decorated in glory with furniture and artwork. Tourists can visit fifty of these large and splendid rooms

Art

The internationally known Prado Museum is the largest and most impressive art gallery in Spain. Founded in 1819, it is filled with works of art that featured the Spanish paintings

Shopping

Madrid has some of Europe’s best shopping malls, and potential buyers love to look through the stores looking for bargains. But for 500 years, shoppers have gathered to an extremely large outdoor flea market known as EI Rastro where they find everything from antiques（古董） to CDs.

Entertainment

No trip to Madrid is complete without seeing a performance of Spain’s famous art form, flamenco. Every day flamenco performers sing, dance or play the guitar in small cafes and grand theaters.

Food

Madrid has a wide variety of restaurants, but because the Spanish usually eat late at about 9 or 10 p.m., it’s difficult to find good dinner food earlier. If you get hungry before then, the best solution is to try a bar where snacks are served. Be sure to try the special ham--Spain is famous for it.
