Metroji clue #1

Madrid in five emoji

Spain

Spain's capital sits higher than any other in Europe, on a plateau that gets hot in August and cold in January. The clue leans on what the city is known for rather than where it is.

What each emoji refers to

Real Madrid and Atlético both play here. The Bernabéu holds over 80,000.
The Prado, the Reina Sofía and the Thyssen are within a few minutes' walk of each other.
Las Ventas is the largest bullring in Spain.
Vinos de Madrid is its own denomination, though Rioja gets the attention.
The Palacio Real is the official residence of the Spanish crown and the largest royal palace in Europe by floor area.
