May and October, when the weather is generally warm and dry, are considered the best months for touring Spain. May gives you more hours of daylight, while October offers a chance to enjoy the harvest season, which is especially colorful in Spain's many wine regions. June, July, August or September, while crowded, are best months for the beach. Winters in Spain are mild and rainy along the coasts; elsewhere it's cold in the winter.

Madrid 

How appropriate that Madrid is located in the heart of Spain. The warmth and vitality the Madrilenos and their city exhibit breathes life into any vacation spent here. No matter what the time, day or night! Your days may start with a journey from medieval to modern Madrid by visiting the famous ' Golden Triangle' linking three superb museums. The Prado with its inspiring collection of Spanish Art including works by Goya and Velazquez, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum whose collection conveys the history of Western Art, and the Reina Sofia National Museum displaying 20th century works of Picasso, Miro and Dali to name a few.

Or take an excursion to Toledo, the "city of three cultures" with its Moorish architecture, which inspired El Greco to create his finest works.

Spend your evenings listening to sensual Spanish music sitting out in terrazas, all the while surrounded by intense artistic and cultural energy unique to Madrid!

Royal Palace of Madrid (Palacio Real)

This is a really beautiful living museum. Parlors in the palace are each decorated in its own style (no pictures allowed). The Armory is 2 stories filled with wonderful crafted armor and weapons. Do not miss it. Tip, pictures taken from outside the gate would give a wider range than from inside the gate.

Its the absolute must to see place! I loved every minute we have spent there, amazing rooms and beautiful view! This palace is far away the most beautiful palace I have ever seen....

Great atmosphere...The architecture is beautiful and the gardens are too...Nice place to walk around for a little while...The church is very nice as well
