Madrid, the capital and largest city of Spain, is located in the center of the Iberian Peninsula and is the political, economic and cultural hub of the country. With a history of more than 400 years, the city is a blend of classic and modern: the magnificent Royal Palace, the elegant Prado Museum and the iconic Bear and Strawberry Tree sculptures in Puerta del Sol Square tell the story of its deep historical heritage, while the bustling Gran Via, the fashionable Salamanca district and the vibrant nightlife emphasize its modern urban charm. As the "Art Capital", Madrid is home to masterpieces by Velázquez and Goya; as the "Gourmet Paradise", tapas and paella exude an authentic Iberian flavor. Its pleasant Mediterranean climate and warm residents make this "Gateway to Europe" a must-visit destination for travelers exploring Spain.
Sevan is a small town in the Armenian province of Gegharkunik, located in the eastern part of the country on the shores of Lake Sevan, about 66 kilometers from the capital city of Yerevan.
