NO WAyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!
I wonder, why not give our reasons and not a simple list of cities? I think it would be worthwhile.
So, I will start.
Madrid, as we say here,
de Madrid al cielo (from Madrid to heaven), has everything! It is a "young people" town. We have dozens of theatres, cinemas, uncountable discoteques....
The beauty of the city is undoubted. Barcelona for example is a much more modern city, but Maddrid is full of old and classy buildings, beautiful art galleries (
El Prado is known all over the world and counted among the best art galleries in the world only comparable with the Louvre for instance...
amigo, give me only
one equivalent in Barcelona!!??), enormous parks
in the very centre of the city (again, give me ONE park in Barcelona,
amigo!!). We have the best shops (here, as far as I know, Barcelona beats us!!:roll

, beautiful broad streets, big and classy anvenues.....all lined with ancient buildings.
What can I tell you about the people??:-D Madrid is known to be one of the friendliest plces of the world, peole will always make an effort to help you, understand any language...(definitely a draw-back in Barcelona:roll

.
Well, this comes from a passionate MAdrid defender despite its multiple failures,: too much and unorganized traffic, too many demonstrations, last year, 1.2 A DAY!!, too loud ( everybody seems to be shouting his head off!!)...well, many things.
But despite all this: MADRID IS THE BEST!!!!!!:-D
cheers
