Madrid
is the capital of Spain! Such
a self-evident statement has a much
wider-ranging
whose
underlying
multiple
significance,
implications
have
moulded the city's singular personality.
Madrid
is
the
decision-making
centre of the Spanish government, the
place
national
powers
have
their
headquarters,
where
and
the
where
different
the
major
de
facto
companies,
multinationals, banks and financial markets are located. It is also the geographic
centre of the Iberian Peninsula (the exact centre is Cerro de Los Angeles, 14 km.
outside Madrid), and the hub of all of Spain's national highways and international
throughways.
The diversity of its neighbourhoods
and buildings reminds us at every
step of the city's dual role in the
political and economic spheres. Its
historic monuments are the heritage
of
a
city
that
has
wielded
administrative power for more than
four
centuries.
Alongside
them,
glass-and concrete-clad skyscrapers
encase
the
heartbeat
of
an
increasingly important local economy, whose weight is growing both at the Spanish
and international levels. Within the territory of the Madrid region, whose total surface
area is approximately 8000 km, two other major local powers live side-by-side: the
government of the Autonomous Region and the capital's City Council. Madrid is one of
the 17 autonomous regions into which Spain was divided under the Constitution of
1978; unlike most of the others, it has but one province. Its population tops 5 million,
or 12% of the national total.
Its surroundings and its location have shaped Madrid. It is a city in the centre not only
of the region, but also of the country. Perhaps this location is one of the determining
factors in its status as the capital, as the political, business, economic and transport
centre- all which help to explain why this city has always been a potpourri of different
peoples and interests, both historically and in our times.
Geographically, the Madrid region has a diversity that might astonish someone who
only knows the city and its outskirts. The proximity of the Sierra de Guadarrama offers
a variety of landscapes that break up the monotony of the Castilian meseta, and make
Madrid a region of forests, hidden valley's and peaks more than 2500 m high, a
surprising contrast to the great city and its far-flung suburbs.

Climate - winter in Madrid is long and cold and then a very hot summer suddenly
bursts onto the scene. For this reason, spring and autumn are the most pleasant
seasons in the city, when its colours, its high blue sky, and its temperatures are at
their best. However, over the last few years the climate has changed, and it is no
longer possible to pinpoint the arrival of the hot and cold seasons. In the spring,
Madrid's temperatures range from 7º to 19º C, with an average of 27 rain days; n
summer, temperatures range from 16º to 31º, with 15 rainy days; in autumn, the city
enjoys even better temperatures than in spring, ranging 8º to 21º, with 17 rainy days.
Lastly, in winter, with an average of 24 days of rain, temperatures go from 0º to
11ºC.
Transportation - Madrid is the great crossroad and transport centre of the Iberian
Peninsula. To maintain its rhythm of transport of visitors and goods, Madrid has a
transportation network that is continually being upgraded. Whatever the means of
transport chosen-air, railroad or throughway- the region is perfectly linked to the rest
of the Country, as well as enjoying excellent foreign connections. As to the city itself,
it has an extensive network of underground stations (Known as the Metro) commuter
trains and buses, as well as more than 15,000 taxis.
Opening hours - Most stores in Madrid open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., close for lunch
and the open again from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., from Monday to Saturday (although some
shops close Saturday afternoons).
Usual banking hours is 8:15 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. from Monday to Friday. Banks also
open on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., while saving banks (cajas de
ahorros) open Thursday evenings from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.. During the week of the San
Isidro festival for the patron saint of Madrid (third week of May), banking hours are 9
a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Department stores and shopping malls do not close at midday,
remaining open from 10 a.m. to 9 or 10 p.m., from Monday to Saturday. They are
currently only allowed to open a certain number of Sundays and holidays.
Most restaurants open for lunch from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., and for dinner from 9 to 11
p.m.

TOUR 3: OLD MADRID WALKING TOUR (16th & 17th Century)
Location: historical part of Madrid
Duration: Half day, approx. 3 hours
Min./Maxi.: recommended maximum 25 people/guide
Groups of 20 to 25 people, along with their guide, will be taken
back in time to Spain’s glorious “Golden Age”.
Walking
through the winding streets of old Madrid, also known as
Madrid’s Habsburg, the participants will discover the richness
of the Spanish culture of this period and its outstanding
personalities: Velazquez, Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Calderón…
The old part of the city is dating from 16-17 century.
Depending in which hotel the guests are staying the tour can
start from different points of Madrid. The tour can begin, for
instance at the Plaza Santa Ana, then Puerta del Sol and
reaching the Plaza Mayor.
The Plaza Mayor was built in the 17C by King Philip III and is
today meeting place for artists, tourist and Madrilènes. The
atmosphere is lively due to the variety of “Mesones” (Tapas
Bars). A stop can be organised for refreshments.
Our next stop will be La Plaza de la Villa. On this square, there are 3 important
buildings: Torre de Lujanes, built in mudéjar style, Casa de Cisneros in renaissance style
and the Town Hall.
Afterwards, we will discover the church of San Andrés and the little chapel next to it,
where the Patron of Madrid, San Isidro, is buried. After this, if the legs as still willing,
we can move on to the Church of San Francisco el Grande which keeps insides paintings
of Goya.
TOUR 4: FLAMENCO LESSONS
Flamenco is a lifestyle and art form, and is also an
individual way to express our feelings which is part
of our cultural roots.
Flamenco dance is a unique cultural expression from
Spain, growing on ancient roots, and as already
said, expressing all the passion of human emotions:
from pain and suffering to joy and exuberance.
This show will show various different aspects of
flamenco. It will be a full and enjoyable immersion in the Spanish culture.
Lessons will be with a specialized Flamenco dance teacher

TOUR 5: SANGRIA WORKSHOP
Sangria is an alcoholic beverage of Spanish origin,
made with red wine and fruits (including citrus).
Discover
how
to
achieve
authentic
sangria:
synonymous with celebration as Spanish combined!
We advise you to accompany the tasting the sound of
Spanish guitar...
TOUR 6: WINE TASTING
Wine
tasting
is
the
sensory
examination
and
evaluation of wine.
While the practice of wine tasting is as ancient as its
production, a more formalized methodology has
slowly become established from the 14th century
onwards. Modern, professional wine tasters (such as
sommeliers,
use
a
constantly-evolving
formal
terminology which is used to describe the range of
perceived flavours, aromas and general characteristics of a wine.
TOUR 7: SPANISH GUITAR MAKING: – Spanish instrument by excellence
The guitars made by Arturo Sanzano have been played by
the most experienced hands and in the most famous
concerts. Since 1984 the “Arturo Sanzano” guitars have
been played by the most experienced hands and in the
most renowned contests, where this guitar constructor is
usually part of the jury. Sanzano regularly gives Courses of
Active Construction for Concert guitars as well as Romantic
and Flamenca. Apart from being one of the founders of the
prestigious “Comillas Guitar Course”, he has his own guitar contest in the “Martín
Códax’s International Music Festival”. The human voice is the most beautiful instrument
of all, but it is the most difficult to play –
Richard Strauss. The first consideration is
the body size of the guitar to be made.
Although the guitar is today more-or-less
"standard" in body size, different luthiers
vary their measurements slightly. The
actual body of the guitar is constructed
inside a mould and is probably the most
important
part
of
the
luthier's
(and
amateur guitar maker's) equipment.


Lunch will/can be held either at various downtown restaurants (groups of 100 pax) or all
together at the prestigious ZEN MARKET for which has a total capacity of 380 pax at
any one time all:

The food is a fusion of Asian cuisine including
Chinese, sushi and sashimi, without forgetting their famous
Pecking Duck. The restaurant serves both Chinese (different
regional dishes) and Japanese food, and the menu is wideranging.
The decor is attractive and the ambience lively with both
business and leisure clients.
The imperial decor and giant statue of Mao Tse Dung creates an unusual combination of
fine dining at a sports arena.

We can offer PM tours also or free time
05.03.2014
Page 18

Evening transfer for a wild TAPAS evening at the Mercado San Miguel:
MERCADO SAN MIGUEL
The lively and attractive market of San Miguel, just
off the Calle Mayor and in the immediate vicinity of
the Plaza Mayor, is an example of progressive
municipal development in 19th C. Madrid.
The colourful market, with its stalls laid out in
regular
rows
on
two
levels,
was
originally
constructed in 1835 and was completed in its
present form in 1915 (architect Alfonso Dubé). It
replaced the picturesque but unhygienic confusion of
foodstuffs and other wares on the old market
square. Recently the iron structure of the market
building has been fitted with glass walls to provide
protection against both heat and cold.
Here we can private the entire market to ensure we
all
get
some
great
TAPAS
served
from
many
different stands.

We also suggest to add some light entertainment such as;
TUNA BAND
This is one of the most typical type of Spanish bands and it is composed by a group of
university students. Every faculty of every university in Spain has its own tuna band.
The origin of this comes from the
middle ages and it was one way for
students without many incomes to eat
by performing in taverns in exchange
for food. That's why their emblem is a
fork and a spoon crossed. Nowadays
these guys have always something to
eat but this way they make some
money for their expenses.
Their basic instruments are the guitar,
the bandurria (a small, high-pitched guitar-like instrument that usually plays melody),
the accordion and, of course, the pandereta (a small tambourine).
Most of their songs are about women, drinking or being from a certain region of Spain
(or Portugal or Latin America, as the case may be).

DAY 3:

After a full buffet breakfast, we suggest a full day in TOLEDO:
Toledo is set 70 kms (44 miles) south of
Madrid.
The whole town is a national monument. As you
walk
through
surrounded
by
the
mass
Gothic
of
and
tiny
streets,
Renaissance
buildings you can 'feel' the history. The historic
centre has churches, synagogues and palaces.
Indeed it is an immense living museum housing
some of Spain’s best artistic treasures.

Upon arrival, we will stop at the unique estate Cigarral de Santa Maria,
created in 1997 by Adolfo Munoz, one of Spain’s most celebrated chef’s whose
main restaurant is located in Toledo. Composed of just 4 hectares under vine,
Cigarral Santa Maria is located in one of only four urban vineyards in the world
(the vines are actually in the city!) The estate is also unique in that it is
centered on Syrah, a variety that is usually only a component of the final blend
in Spain. The building itself was built using the bricks of a warehouse of the
XIX century and located on a hill with beautiful views of Toledo. With four
thousand stocks of young vineyard and stunning views, this is the perfect
location with its gardens and outside terrace overlooking Toledo. In 1997
Adolfo Munoz won the Marqués de Desio National Gastronomy Award for best
restaurateur in Spain.
He is a staunch defender of Olive Oil, its culture and
properties and the Mediterranean diet in general and this is reflected in his
work.

Here we will be welcomed by Adolfo himself to see how he elaborates his local
wines, taste the wines accompanied by ham/cheese, and enjoy the beautiful
views of Toledo.

We will proceed with a Special wine tasting of 2 wines followed by some olive
tasting of 3 different olives grown in Castilla.

We will then make our way to the Old City, where in smaller groups of 25 pax,
we will
visit the Cathedral, a Synagogue and the chapel of St. Tome which
houses the "The burial of Count Orgaz", masterpiece painted by El Greco.

DAY 4:

After a full buffet breakfast, we suggest a full day in SEGOVIA:
SEGOVIA, a charming town where you will see one of the best
monuments left behind by the Romans on the whole of the
Iberian Peninsula - Segovia's incredible Aqueduct. Built in the
time of Augustus, it has one hundred and eighteen arches and is
10 miles (16 kilometres) in length out of which there are only
2,388 feet (728 meters) visible.
Segovia is also famous for its Alcazar, a beautiful and world famous
11th Century Medieval Castle, located over a magnificent rock.
Step back in time and imagine the medieval tournaments and
heroic knights who once walked where you will. It is also supposed
to have inspired the Disney Castle.
You will be captivated by the beautiful view of the Alcazar on your
visit to the Church of Vera Cruz. Located on the outskirts of
Segovia, separated from the town by the Eresma River, the Church
of Vera Cruz was founded by the order of the Templar Knights in
the 12th Century. The architectural style represents a transition
period between Roman and Gothic. Take some time to appreciate
its outstanding octagonal floor.
You will also see the Cathedral which is the last great Gothic
Cathedral to be built in Spain. It was started in the 16th century
and not completed until the end of the 17th century

Lunch can be served for all at CANDIDO’s: It lies at the foot of Segovia's Roman
aqueduct. Mesón de Cándido is one of the oldest and most renowned restaurants in the
whole city. There is an open-air terrace in summer which is blessed with magnificent
views of the aqueduct.
It has a large wine cellar with over 350 Spanish
Denomination
of
Origin
wines.
Cándido
is
internationally famed for its food and its ambience.

FINCA LOS JARALES: Closing Dinner
Only 35 minutes north of the city one can enjoy a healthy day in
the country. Sherry pourers using the famous glass on a stick or
“Venencias” is the perfect way to break the ice for any group. A
country PAELLA & BBQ meats Gala dinner combined with an
impressive Horse show using black horses at the bullring are just
some ideas you can do at the Hacienda for a complete different
experience.
The Hacienda “Los Jarales” offers the opportunity to enjoy that very special
evening and dinner.
Upon arrival a Spanish welcome drink is served
(depending on the weather), in the wine cellar or
on the terrace. Our suggestion is to use the typical
Sherry pourers or “veneciadors” who use a long
stick to pull the sherry out of its cask and poor it
from a high distance into a glass without spilling
one drop.
On long tables typical tapas such as cheese and
cured Spanish ham are offered. Beverages offered
include sherry, beer, sangria, wine and soft drinks.
Then guests are invited to go to the Haciendas arena and enjoy a private horse
show. Mr. Justo Nieto, ex-bullfighter and the owner of “los Jarales”, will
perform a horse show (dressage) using four of his horses accompanied with
music. Additionally a “Capea” or mock bullfight can be arranged. The
bullfighters will show their skills using a baby bull. Of course without
bloodshed.

We will then invite Guests to participate under the supervision of the

Rociero choir can number anything between 8 – 20
people including guitarists.
‘Flamenco’

The music is typically
guitars
and
clapping
accompanying the singing – but the feel and subject
matter is more light-hearted and fun to that usually
associated with flamenco.
The choir can be seated or can stroll amongst the
guests.
PRIVATE FLAMENCO SHOW
Flamenco is a lifestyle and art form, and is also an individual way to
express our feelings which is part of our cultural roots. To learn
Spanish is to not only speak it, but to feel it through its music,
songs and dance
Flamenco is a good way to find out about Spanish and especially the
Andalusian people, as it is a particular lifestyle. Flamenco dance is a
unique cultural expression from Spain, growing on ancient roots,
and as already said, expressing all the passion of human emotions:
from pain and suffering to joy and exuberance.
This show will show various different aspects of flamenco. It will be
a full and enjoyable immersion in the Spanish culture.

overcame its disappearance and in 1982, reopened it as a
baking oven, after two years of painstaking restoration.
Today, the "Posada de la Villa" is a proof of the eternal Madrid, endearing and cosy,
classical and comfortable. Within a trio of dining rooms whose textured plaster and old
