Madrid is the third-largest city in Europe, losing only to London and Berlin. It is home to the Spanish monarch and Prime Minister as well as two world-famous football clubs and the financial headquarters of many Spanish companies. Alongside its modernity, Madrid has kept historic landmarks like the Royal Palace, Royal Theatre, and Plaza Mayor. The city has played a pivotal role in multiple wars as well as democratic demonstrations during the Francoist dictatorship. Today, many Latin American as well as Romanian, Chinese, and Moroccan communities call the city home in addition to its Spanish population.

Students attending the Madrid field trip might think about the rise and fall of political regimes or the popularity and diplomatic potential of sport for a Justice or Wellbeing stamp in their London Passport.
