Barcelona! Madrid is nice but Barcelona has more historical sites, and the food in incredible! I think that the nightlife is more intense in Barcelona as well.
I have been to both. So cut the condescending attitude Martha. I have never known anyone to be so incredibly stuck up. Nobody knows an entire country "like the back of their hand". I don't claim to know even 1/8 of the US that well honey. Do me a favor, get over yourself.

Madrid is really a thrilling town with hundreds of theater reveals, opera, dance and countless other kinds of nightlife and if you want to discover it then this is the place hotelbye . In Madrid you may also discover probably the most exciting areas to get a evening to remember and can also be the new home of Flamenco because Madrid is alive with music and passion. The many spectacular areas and gardens give tranquil locations and places like: Royal Palace, Royal Theater, Almudena Cathedral, Plaza Mayor Square, Prado Museum, Queen Sofía Museum, Gran Vía Avenue and Puerta del Sol reminds you why you select that city for your vacation.

Barcelona - the streets of Barcelona are alive by day or night, providing the visitor with a safe place for strolling around, whether for shopping, eating or simply passing the time of day. There is also 1 mile long city beach with clean soft sand, ideal for sun bathing. See http://www.spain4uk.co.uk/places/barcelona.htm for more details

If you are looking for big time and fun then definetely go to Barcelona. Madrid is very formal, arrogant and more of a shopping city with expensive areas to visit.

Barcelona is becoming one of many first tourist location of Spain since it knows how to please the huge bulk : with a record on the list of oldest in Europe, a city that never sleeps and an inland full of charm, memorable lovely beaches in La Costa Brava and you can see all of this if you have a look with hotelbye first. The variety of imaginative gifts, the Romanesque churches and the great names in contemporary artwork and structure like: Dali, Gaudi, Miro and Picasso give Barcelona an area in the set of cities you should see.

Barcelona!!! big time!!!
I went to both and madrid was a disappointment!!! big squares, nothing compered to the beauty of barcelona.barcelona is unique
,You can find bars and clubs open till late everywhere in spain, it s the spanish way. but in barcelona they are all concentrated in front of the sea, u can go from one club to another without having to pay the coverage charge

I would have to say Barcelona, as Madrid is totally overwhelming. But if you want something that is truly navigable and lots of fun...try Bilbao in the north! Gotta love that city. :)

Madrid for anything. i am from La Coruña (in Galicia, northwest), and i live in Madrid since a few years now... i have been to most of the reagions in Spain, and i know spain like the palm of my hand. MADRID is the best place to visit. the ppl are so warm and welcome foreigners the best. probably most ppl here will tell u barcelona because they only visited that place... but if you REALLY get to know both places (not like... oh that's a nice building) then u'll agree w. me on Madrid. every time i bring american friends, i bring them to madrid, and then to barcelona... and they always always prefer madrid ;);)
