Travel project?

I have to do a project for Spanish class where I plan a trip to Spain. I have to tell about the geography, history, government, economy, education, people, and culture of Spain, but it has to be integrated into the places I visit. For example, I have to talk about art at an art museum, history at a history museum... I was assigned central spain, so I am "going" to Madrid. I know of a few places like the Prado and Royal Palace to go, but I need a lot more. Can anyone suggest several good tourist sites in Madrid that fit these qualities? And does anyone know of a good website that tells about these places in depth and includes the prices of admission?

Sounds like a fun project.

Whenever I have to research a destination I will go to the locations' CVB or Convention & Visitors Buerau. There is more information then you care to know on them. I am not talking about "travel sellers" website, but the goverments page on tourism. I did a quick Google seach (I put in 'visit Spain') and the website I found was www.okspain.org On this site and similar sites you will find out about different places to see, the hours and the cost and I am sure a link to vendors to sell you tickets.

Good luck on your project. Perhaps you will get to go one day.

Here is one website:
