About Madrid:
Madrid is the capital of Spain, a city of elegant boulevards and expansive, manicured parks such as the Buen Retiro. It was once it’s stodgy heart, as well. Not as arty and open-minded as Barcelona, it’s great rival in so many ways. Madrid is land-locked, with the Sierra Guadarrama to the north, and located on a high plane. But in the post-Franco era, it was the center of “La Movida,” the great broken-dam rush of counter-culture in the arts, youth culture and wildness that came after 40 years of repressive Fascism. While the look is still formal, the city has held onto its vibrancy and innovation from that period. Now the heart of Spanish film and fashion, and with forward-thinking foodie destinations to go along with the everyday traditional fare.
The event will be played at the Manzanares Park Tennis Center, home of the Caja Magica, where the men’s MS1000 is also played in May. It is the highest-altitude tournament of all the Masters 1000, at 677 meters/2,188 feet.
