Madrid is the commercial center of Spain and the center of the "headquarters economy". It is located in the middle of the Meseta Plateau in the Iberian Peninsula, in a mountainous plateau basin at the southeastern foot of the Guadarrama Mountains, at an altitude of 670 meters.
The climate is typically temperate continental, with hot summers and cold winters. However, the summers are hot but relatively dry and not particularly difficult. The spring and autumn seasons are pleasant in Madrid, especially in autumn when it is warm and comfortable and the days are long, making it ideal for sightseeing.

2、 the Art Walk pass
The pass can be purchased in the above three museums for 21.60 euros.
The cities in Spain are relatively small, and sometimes it is not particularly far to walk; you usually choose public transportation to travel, less often to take a taxi, and the cost is not very high. Although public transportation is expensive, you can buy multiple tickets or day passes.
It is worth noting the Lavapis district, although it is an area of multicultural friction and people love it, crime and drugs are common in this district, so be careful not to go to this district alone at night, it is best to avoid such dangerous places.
- Where is the Temple of Debo
Originally located in the southern part of Aswan, Egypt, it was used to worship the goddess Isis. Due to the need to build the Aswan Dam, many monuments and archaeological sites were in danger. The Egyptian government gave this temple to Spain as a token of appreciation for Spain's assistance in preserving the precious historical site.
The Temple of Debo, rebuilt in Madrid, maintains the orientation orientation and details of the style of the building in its original location in Egypt. It is the only building in Spain in the Egyptian style and one of the few Egyptian buildings intact outside of Egypt.
The site of the Temple of Debo is also a favorite spot for photographers as it is the best place in Madrid for sunset photography. The elevated terrain also allows you to see the Royal Palace of Madrid from afar. As the sun sets, you can see the Temple of Debo in a variety of different ways, as if you have traveled to Egypt.
If you want to go to the Temple of Debo to watch the sunset, it is recommended to check the sunset time in advance. The temple is close to the Royal Palace of Madrid, so you can arrange to visit it in one day.
