Even if it had not been there are others: Copenhagen, no rivers or even large streams there, Stockholm, an archipelago, (Helsinki, close to a river but not actually on it, same with Reykjavik).. do I need to investigate it any further.
What is the only capital in Europe that is not stationed on a river?
Madrid marked correct
The city is located on the river Manzanares
The most ancient recorded name of the city Magerit (for *Materit or *Mageterit ?) comes from the name of a fortress built on the Manzanares River in the 9th century A.D., and means "Place of abundant water."
"place of abundant water"... Could that be because it's build on a freakin' RIVER!?!?! Bloody hell.
