Win a trip for two to Madrid by rail

Don't miss your chance to win a trip for two to Madrid. We've teamed up with our friends at Elipsos and the Gran Hotel Conde Duque to give away this amazing prize.

After arriving in Madrid via Europe's very own 'moving hotel', Elipsos Trenhotel, you'll be staying in the 4-star Gran Hotel Conde Duque.

Madrid is the city that never sleeps. It's jam packed with things to see and do during the day, and has a relentless atmosphere at night.

Take a stroll around the city and get snapping at the Puerta del Sol or the Royal Palace. Pop into the oldest restaurant in the world (according to the Guinness Book of Records), Botin. It dates back to 1725. Brilliant.

Alternatively, take a short train ride to nearby towns. Swashbuckling Toledo is the former capital and is only 30 minutes away by train, and Salamanca's crazy carvings will have you head scratching all the way back to Madrid.

Whatever you feel like doing, Madrid will keep you entertained until it's time to go home.

To enter the competition just answer this simple question:

According to the Guinness Book of Records, when does the oldest restaurant in the world date back to?
