Well, i think Madrid is one of the most beautifull cities of Europe, it is traditional, modern, funny, all in one place, you can go walking all trough Moncloas Park trough calle Princesa and then arrive to Gran Via, of course the most simbolic street in Madrid, you can find everithing there, you can go to Plaza Mayor, Plaza del Sol, and then go trough Cibeles, Paseo del Prado, and all that stuff, during night you can go to Paseo de La CAstellana where you can go DE MARCHA that means that you go walking from discotec to discotec during all nigth having drinks and fund during there. I love people and fun, specially thos tapas españolas

by Pounder73 about Joy Eslava
I randomly walked in this club, after some arm-twisting by two other travelers I met. I would say it is more of a dress to impress club, rather elegant, with two other balcony style floors overlooking the main floor and stage. They genre’s changed every hour or so, I heard R&B/top 40, to house, to some local music.
I was pleasantly surprised when we were kicked off of the stage while dancing, for 2 flamenco shows. (around 1:45 and 3:30am)
Very stiff and expensive drinks, about $10, and there was a $10 to $20 cover. I left at about 4:30 and the place was still packed. dress to impress.
