Chronicles of Madrid
Madrid, the capital of Spain, was founded in 860 AD by the Moors and has since evolved into a rich cultural melting pot. The city's architectural heritage is a testament to its complex past, with influences from Gothic, Renaissance, and Art Nouveau styles visible in its grand buildings.

Best Time to Visit
Full Madrid guide →Best months
The best months to visit Madrid are June, September, and October, when the weather is warm and sunny, with average highs of 28°C (82°F), and the crowds are manageable. These months offer a perfect balance of pleasant temperatures and fewer tourists compared to the peak summer months.
Peak / festival surge
July is the peak month for tourism in Madrid, mainly due to the Tomatina tomato-throwing festival in Buñol and the Fiesta de San Fermín in Pamplona, which attract large crowds.
