The city - Madrid
Madrid, the capital of Spain and seat of the main institutions, has the highest population of any Spanish city, with over three million residents. The city lies at the centre of a large metropolitan area and provides the focal point for one and a half million commuters on a daily basis.
At national, European, and Latin American levels, and elsewhere in the world, Madrid is seen as being synonymous with economic prosperity, industrial development, educational and scientific excellence, cultural richness and a strong sense of solidarity.The city of Madrid possesses autonomy for the management of its interests. The City Hall is a Corporation made up of the Mayor and the councillors who are elected via universal suffrage for a four-year term of office in order to govern and manage the interests of the municipality.
