I know bringing in a song in Swedish is risky and we will not challenge for a top 10 place. But I don’t care. Sometimes I just want to show you what’s popular in Sweden.

MADRID BEARS
 
Madrid is the capital and largest city of Spain, located in the center of the Iberian Peninsula. The city has a long and rich history, dating back to the 9th century.
 

 
In the 16th century, Madrid became the capital of Spain under the reign of King Philip II, who made the city a center of culture and politics. During this time, many of Madrid's most famous landmarks were built, including the Royal Palace of Madrid and the Plaza Mayor.  Throughout the centuries, Madrid has played an important role in Spain's history, including during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s. The city was heavily bombed during the war, but it was later rebuilt and has become one of Europe's most vibrant and modern cities.
 
Today, Madrid is home to over 3 million people (6.5 million if we consider the metropolitan area) and is known for its rich culture, art, and cuisine. It is also one of the world's most important financial centers and is home to many multinational companies and organizations. Tourists flock to the city to explore its historic landmarks, including the Prado Museum, the Retiro Park, and the Puerta del Sol.
 

 
The bear is a symbol of Madrid because of a legend that dates back to the Middle Ages. According to the legend, the city's founder, King Alfonso VI, was out hunting in the forests near the city when he saw a group of bears. The sight of the bears inspired him to choose the area as the site for the city of Madrid.
 
Over the years, the image of a bear has become closely associated with Madrid, and it is now the city's official emblem. The bear is often depicted standing on its hind legs and leaning against a tree, while eating the fruit from the tree with its front paws. This image can be seen on the city's coat of arms, on street signs, and in many other places throughout Madrid.
 

 
 
TYPICAL FOOD:
 
Madrid is known for its delicious and hearty cuisine, which includes a variety of traditional dishes. Some of the most popular dishes of Madrid include:
 
Cocido Madrileño: A stew made with chickpeas, vegetables, and different types of meat, such as pork, beef, and chorizo. Huevos rotos: Fried eggs served on top of a bed of potatoes and sometimes ham or chorizo. Callos a la Madrileña: A stew made with tripe, chorizo, and morcilla (blood sausage). Bocadillo de Calamares: A sandwich filled with fried squid rings. Churros con chocolate: Fried dough pastries served with a thick hot chocolate dipping sauce. Patatas bravas: Fried potatoes served with a spicy tomato sauce.  
These dishes are often accompanied by a glass of tinto de verano (a refreshing wine-based drink) or a caña (small glass of beer). Madrid is also known for its tapas culture, where small plates of food are served with drinks in bars and restaurants, making it an excellent place to try a variety of traditional Spanish dishes.

Chotis
 
"Chotis" is a dance and music style that apparently originated in Bohemia in the late 18th century, quickly making its way to other parts of Europe and America. It is characterized by its slow and graceful rhythm, and is often performed as a ballroom dance.
 
The chotis is usually performed by couples, who dance to the accompaniment of a small orchestra or a single piano. The dance is characterized by its smooth, gliding steps and elegant movements, and is typically performed in a relaxed, leisurely manner.
 
The chotis was very popular in Spain in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and was considered one of the most sophisticated and refined forms of Spanish dance. Although its popularity has declined in recent decades, the chotis remains an important part of Spanish cultural heritage, and is still performed and appreciated in Madrid.
 

Sardana
 
A sardana is a traditional folk dance originating from Catalonia, a region in northeastern Spain. It is typically performed in a circle, with dancers linking arms and performing coordinated steps in time with the music. Sardanas are typically performed to the accompaniment of a cobla, a type of Catalan wind orchestra, and are often accompanied by singing. The sardana is considered an important part of Catalan cultural heritage and is a symbol of national identity. It is typically performed at celebrations and festivals, and is considered a joyful and celebratory dance that brings people together.
