Madrid es una ciudad que cuenta con alguna de las pinacotecas más importantes del mundo, como el Museo del Prado, el Reina Sofía o el Thyssen-Bornemisza. Le invitamos a una breve visita a alguno de ellos para que puedan disfrutar de las obras maestras de pintores como Velazquez, El Greco, Goya, Dalí o Picasso.
