MADRID

I  live in Madrid which is the capital of Spain. Madrid is right in the middle of the country. It is a large city with over four million people- Madrid is very hot and sunny in the summer but it is cold in the winter.

        Madrid has many problems. The traffic here is terrible and we often have enormous traffic jams. Because of the cars pollution is sometimes very bad. Also, there is quite a lot of crime here, and some places are pretty dangerous at night.

        However, I love Madrid and there are lots of good things. People are friendly, and the city is never boring. There are many things to do and also many places to visit. In the summer we live out of doors and nobody goes to bed early. Madrid is probably the only city in the world which has traffic jams at four or five o´clock in the morning!
