Contrasts in Madrid

Madrid, a relatively young European capital, is full of contrasts easily viewed on any five-minute walk in the city - light to dark, hard stones to soft greens, quiet mornings and loud nights.  Baroque boulevards and royal parks contrast sharply with medieval alleys and extensive civic reconstruction projects and the city makes for strong comparisons with the upcoming cities of Barcelona and Girona.
