Madrid

Madrid is the vibrant capital of Spain, and a major European hub. With a population exceeding 3.4 million within the city limits and nearly 6.8 million in the metropolitan area, it’s a dynamic, cosmopolitan center. Situated centrally on the Iberian Peninsula, Madrid benefits from a moderate altitude and a well-connected infrastructure, making it easily accessible.

Historically a military outpost evolving into the seat of the Spanish Monarchy, Madrid today is the country’s political, economic, and cultural heart. It boasts the second-largest GDP in the EU and hosts headquarters for major international organizations and Spanish corporations like Telefónica and BBVA. Expect a fast-paced environment, a thriving startup scene, and a strong focus on business and innovation, alongside a rich cultural life.
