Madrid - user Valentine - 05/07/2007
I have been living in Spain for more than a year (Barcelona, Madrid), but since I’m working for an American company, my Spanish is still at beginner level. Of course I can say ‘one-two-three’, ‘beer’ and ‘hello’, but I’m often confused in hotels and restaurants. The last few months in Madrid, I’ve been using XS2Madrid on my cell phone. Spanish people tend to react a little strange in the beginning, but they really appreciate your effort to get to know their language. Especially when going out with friends, we had a lot of fun with the fun & flirt sentences. The best thing is that you can add some phrases you use often to your ‘favorites’ section, and after a while, I started knowing them by heart. Besides that, the city guide provides some excellent reviews and insider tips about Madrid’s hotspots, restaurants and clubs, some of which cannot be found in the regular city guide books.

Fuencarral     review Calle de Fuencarral is a shopping street just off Gran Vía. Popular brands like Diesel, Quiksilver and Puma have their own shops here. Though many of the trendier stores are being pushed out by the big brands, you can still get some funky and quite individual clothing at the Mercado Fuencarral. This shopping centre consists of some 60 stores of all different types and sizes with clothes, accessories, house decorations, jewelry, records, etc. Description:
