tributary of the Jarama which flows south into the Tagus.
The industries of Madrid include tanning and leather goods, glass, porcelain, paper, iron and copper foundries, transport and machinery.

Both are superb seaside resort hotels, the latter being of artistic and super-luxurious quality and so popular with Barcelona plutocrats that it is booked solid for months ahead.
