Look at the map of Spain and point at the center.You've located the country's capital and one of Europe's most beautiful cities: Madrid.This popular destination is considered a city of contrasts with its abundant historic sites, resting in the shadows of modern skyscrapers.
History
This city of over 3 million people is proud of Western Europe's largest royal palace and some consider it to be Madrid's most beautiful building.
Inside the Royal Palace 2,800 rooms are decorated in glory with museum-quality furniture and artworks.Tourists can tour 50 of these large and splendid rooms.
Art
The Internationally respected Prado Museum is the largest and most impressive art gallery in Spain.Opened in 1819, it is filled with works of art that feature the world's most comprehensive collection of Spanish paintings.
Shopping
Madrid has some of Europe's best shopping, 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 the Rastro where they find everything from antiques 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 alike.
Food
Madrid has a wide variety of restaurants, but because the Spanish typically 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 tapas bar where light snacks are served.Be sure to try the jamon, a kind of dry-cured ham: Spain is famous for it.

In 1811 when Mary and Joseph were hunting fossils, Joseph saw a bone sticking out of the rock.Mary had a hammer to chip away at the rock.Very carefully she uncovered it.She found the first complete fossil of the ichthyosaur (鱼龙).
Since then, Mary became crazy about fossil-hunting.She liked to hunt on the beach after a storm.The wind, rain and waves made the rocks _crumble.It was easy to spot fossils.Most days Mary went fossil hunting with her dog, Tray.
