Madrid, the capital of Spain, is a cosmopolitan city that combines the most modern infrastructures and the status as an economic, financial, administrative and service centre, with a large cultural and artistic heritage, a legacy of centuries of exciting history.
Spain has been greatly affected by the economic crisis. Yet, the city of Madrid is still recognised as the major business centre of the country, and in some industries, where more jobs are available. The northern part of Madrid's centre is where business activity is mainly situated, and the major trade fairs are held in the eastern part of Madrid.
