Can't believe there isn't more love for Madrid in the City break thread
Great food and drink (gin and tonic as an art form)
Wonderful boutique hotels
The Prado, the Reina Sofia and the Thyssen
Opera at the Teatro Real
Walkable centre with quirky little streets and great shopping
I absolutely love a weekend in Madrid
