Madrid

Welcome to Madrid... and for sure to the MADRID WIKI!

In this Wiki you will find useful and common information that everybody is asking when they come to our city. Take your time exploring this Wiki, and if you don´t find (or you don´t understand) information about what are you looking for, feel free to ask us at the CS Madrid Group or BW Madrid Group.

We hope to make this Wiki better and complete it with much more information ...
