Such a self-evident statement has a much wider-ranging underlying significance, whose multiple implications have moulded the city's singular personality. Madrid is the decision-making centre of the Spanish government, the place where the different de facto national powers have their headquarters, and where the major companies, multinationals, banks and financial markets are located. It is also the geographic centre of the Iberian Peninsula (the exact centre is Cerro de los Angeles, 14 km. outside Madrid), and the hub of all of Spain's national highways and international throughways. The diversity of its neighbourhoods and buildings reminds us at every step of the city's dual role in the political and economic spheres. Its historic monuments are the heritage of a city that has wielded administrative power for more than four centuries. Alongside them, glass-and concrete-clad skyscrapers encase the heartbeat of an increasingly important local economy, whose weight is growing both at the Spanish and international levels. Within the territory of the Madrid region, whose total surface area is approximately 8000 km, two other major local powers live side-by-side: the government of the Autonomous Region and the capital's City Council. Madrid is one of the 17 autonomous regions into which Spain was divided under the Constitution of 1978; unlike most of the others, it has but one province. Its population tops 5 million, or 12% of the national total. Its surroundings and its location have shaped Madrid. It is a city in the centre not only of the region, but also of the country. Perhaps this location is one of the determining factors in its status as the capital, as the political, business, economic and transport centre- all which help to explain why this city has always been a potpourri of different peoples and interests, both historically and in our times. Geographically, the Madrid region has a diversity that might astonish someone who only knows the city and its outskirts. The proximity of the Sierra de Guadarrama offers a variety of landscapes that break up the monotony of the Castilian meseta, and make Madrid a region of forests, hidden valley's and peaks more than 2500 m high, a surprising contrast to the great city and its far-flung suburbs. 2 BRUSSELS – BUDAPEST – FLORENCE – LISBON – MADRID – MILAN – PARIS – PHILADELPHIA – PRAGUE – ROME – SOFIA – VIENNA - VILNIUS MADRID 1 ZONES 0 0: Ifema-Airport 2 1: Financial/ Shopping Area 2: City Centre BRUSSELS – BUDAPEST – FLORENCE – LISBON – MADRID – MILAN – PARIS – PHILADELPHIA – PRAGUE – ROME – SOFIA – VIENNA - VILNIUS ZONE 0 CLOSE TO IFEMA BRUSSELS – BUDAPEST – FLORENCE – LISBON – MADRID – MILAN – PARIS – PHILADELPHIA – PRAGUE – ROME – SOFIA – VIENNA - VILNIUS ZONA 0 MADRID SILKEN PUERTA AMERICA ***** Avenida de América, 41 Madrid The Hotel Silken Puerta América Madrid is an idea of freedom come true, a gathering space merging different cultures and ways of interpreting architecture and design.
