How to arrive in Madrid
The city of Madrid is the capital of Spain. From an Arabian enclave, conquered by Alfonso I of Castilla in 1083, the city was chosen as the headquarters of the country by Felipe II, replacing Toledo. Saved by a brief interval of time, between 1601 and 1606, in which its status as capital passed temporarily to Valladolid, since then, Madrid has been the capital of Spain. Madrid is not only the capital of the country, but also of its province and of the autonomous region of Madrid.
