Madrid

Some say Americans live to work, and Spaniards work to live — and in no place is that more apparent than in the Spanish capital and financial center. Madrileños work hard and play even harder — nights in the vibrant city don’t begin until midnight and they end with early morning churros con chocolate on the tail end of incessant club-hopping. And don’t forget that Madrid is home to several of soccer’s best teams, including Real Madrid, the most successful club in history.
