Es enorme, por momentos tengo la sensacion de estar caminando por la capital de Buenos Aires tienen mucha similitud, la diferencia es que Bunos Aires es autonoma, es federativa y obedece a un gobierno central pero tiene su propio gobierno, su propia bandera y escudo, su propia legislatura y suele tenr disidencias y enfrentamintos con el gobirno central, todo un problema.
Muy linda ciudad Madrid me encanta.👍
