Dear friend:
Before
you browse this web site let me introduce myself.
My name is José
Luis and I have designed this site entitled
MADRID,
THE CAPITAL OF SPAIN
with the purpose of letting
you know a little more
about the city of Madrid and its cultural sphere.
I
am so glad you have come to visit it.
If it is your first visit, please do
feel welcome here!.
If you have been here before, welcome back!.
I would like to point out
that some essays included in this site
were written by Juan Ramón, a
very good friend of mine.
For that work, I want to show him from here, my
most sincere gratitude.
For her generous collaboration, I also wish to
express
my most sincere gratitude to "Mayrit", a very good friend
of ours.
Without her help, the History of Madrid would not have been
complete!.
Furthermore, I am very grateful to
Theodore S. Hudson
Luisa
Fernanda López
Estrella Wilkinson
Susana Rivera
for their disinterested and
generous help in traslating into English
Language some pages included in
this web-site.
Finally, it seems perfectly fair to me to conclude by
recognizing
the enormous help given by
Frederick
W. Franck
with the English translations,
but particularly
to let me become friends with him.
