Big Wine Producers

There are many detailed characteristics about the wine in Spain. Spanish wine is considered some of the world’s unsurpassed and most admired wines. Spain has been producing wine for approximately three thousand years; some regions have been producing wine from the age of the Caesars, and still, to today. This region has a well-merited reputation.

For the most part, Spaniards drink primarily red wine, but this does not mean that hundreds of other types of wines are still available and of the same quality. The wine sold and produced here can be just as diverse as the country is, in itself.


Madrid’s Famous Townhall

The largest building in Madrid is the Casa de la Villa, or Town Hall. From 1644 until it was finished in 1696, architects were constructing the Plaza to actually originally to be a prison; however, when it was completely finished in the 1700’s, it served another purpose as well.

This is why two symmetrical doors were made; one door is to lead to a prison, and another door is to lead to the town hall. Town hall is located in the Plaza de la Villa alongside other very old attractions. Some of the oldest buildings in Madrid are located at or around Plaza de la Villa.


Madrid - A Safe Place

In Madrid, one of the safest cities in Spain, security is heightened and the rate of aggressive crimes is very low. In just three months, around three thousand extra police officers where added to the local authorities team aiding in protecting the natives to the towns and villages, as well as vacationers or tourists. It is for this reason, convention planners choose Madrid to hold events. Throughout the city, more Mobile Assistance Points have been set up in places such as airports, bus stations or Plazas.
