capital that has thrown off its conservative instincts and reinvented itself as a laidback party town. If Madrid was once widely perceived as a stuffy ornamental backwater compared with Spain's vibrant regional capitals, it's no longer the case. Communities from North Africa, Latin America and Asia have added cosmopolitan flavor to the city's Castilian heritage. Globally recognized for its nightlife, Madrid exists on a time zone all of its own: dinner at 10, a bar at midnight, clubbing at two and a hangover-busting breakfast of churros con chocolate as the sun comes up. Madrid reputedly has more bars per square kilometer than any other city in Europe -- which means you're spoilt for choice any day of the week, any hour of the day. Not that you necessarily need to stay out until 4 am to enjoy yourself. Spend a sunny afternoon people-watching from one of Madrid's pavement cafés with a carafe of vino tinto and a few raciones and you'll soon find yThu, 05 Oct 2006 09:45:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/09/13/spain.models/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/09/13/spain.models/index.htmlThe world's first ban on overly thin models at a top-level fashion show in Madrid has caused outrage among modeling agencies and raised the prospect of restrictions at other venues.Wed, 13 Sep 2006 13:38:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/05/11/spain.legal/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/05/11/spain.legal/index.htmlA Moroccan man under indictment in the Madrid train bombing case has been released from prison because of an error in legal proceedings, a court official has told CNN.Thu, 11 May 2006 09:26:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/04/11/madrid.bombings/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/04/11/madrid.bombings/index.htmlA Spanish judge has indicted 29 people in connection with the 2004 Madrid train bombings, including five who are charged directly with the deaths of the 191 victims.Tue, 11 Apr 2006 07:09:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/03/21/spain.indictments/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/03/21/spain.indictments/index.htmlA Spanish judge has indicted 33 suspected Islamic extremists in a failed plot to attack the National Court in Madrid, which tries terrorism cases, with a truck bomb, according to a copy of the court order viewed by CNN.Tue, 21 Mar 2006 13:24:00 ESThttp://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/03/11/madrid.bombings/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/03/11/madrid.bombings/index.htmlTwo schoolchildren laid a wreath Saturday in a Madrid park while victims of the Madrid train bombings looked on in a silent ceremony as the nation marked the second anniversary of the terrorist attacks that killed 191 people and wounded 1,741 others.Sat, 11 Mar 2006 16:08:00 ESThttp://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/03/06/madrid.bombings/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/03/06/madrid.bombings/index.htmlNine suspects in the Madrid train bombing case will remain in custody beyond the nearly two years they have already served in pre-trial prison, the judge in charge of the investigation has ruled.Mon, 06 Mar 2006 12:55:00 ESThttp://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/03/05/madrid.bombings/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/03/05/madrid.bombings/index.htmlWith the second anniversary of the deadly Madrid train bombings nearing, the judge investigating the case is close to issuing indictments against possibly as many as 40 suspects, court sources and several lawyers told CNN.Sun, 05 Mar 2006 11:17:00 ESThttp://www.cnn.com/2006/TRAVEL/02/09/madrid.forum/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/TRAVEL/02/09/madrid.forum/index.htmlThe Scene spent the day in Madrid with flamenco superstar Joaquin Cortes.
