The winner of Virtuoso contest, visited our offices.

As Latin Americans we have felt at home, for the kindness and the warmth of its people, its culture and of course the similarity of language.

Madrid is itself a luxury and has great potential for demanding tourist. In a service level highlights the large luxury hotels they have. Of the more than 20 luxury hotels that the capital has, our destination was the AC Santo Mauro Hotel. It?s wonderful his architecture combination of classic and modern facilities, which coupled with its great service, highest quality kitchen and his excellent locations that make our stay one unforgettable experience.

The culture and tradition is other luxury. The Joaquín Sorolla exhibition in the Prado Museum is one of the best we have been seen. The Paseo del Arte (Art Walk) it has consolidated as obliged visit that all tourists had to add in their itinerary.

The recommendation to attend a bullfight was absolutely right. Undoubtedly those who come to Madrid have to visit the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas. The bullfighting ambience in this plaza is a unique and incomparable to any other of the world.

Other Luxury are shopping in the center areas of the city as Chueca, Puerta del Sol or Argüelles and end up in the amazing streets of La Gran Vía. The Milla de Oro (Golden Mile) in Salamanca district puts Madrid between the cities where luxury and shopping are a tourist offer itself.

And of course the gastronomy, one day we went to dinner at Casa Lucio, another highly recommended place of the capital, where visitors and locals love to go.

Thanks Turismo Madrid! We want to come back.
