Now it is incredible! A foodie’s heaven.Congested city streets are noisy and thick with cars and trucks, while pedestrians and cyclists are squeezed to the dangerous edges-but does it have to be this way? We came to look at art and we did, but what we weren’t expecting was how wild the nightlife was, and what incredible energy and stamina the Madrileños possessed when it came to having a good time! The food back then was only ok, or so I thought at the time. Madrid seduced me when I first visited, with its untamed and unapologetic Spanishness.
I love showing people round my favourite spots in Madrid but am never happier than when I am discovering new gems. I live on a special plane where I exist as an eternal tourist (check out Alain de Botton’s book The Art of Travel) who maintains a sense of wonder in a familiar place. I love live music, art, books, travel, food and dancing and am well served for all my interests in Madrid. I am a teacher and examiner who made a home in Madrid many years ago.
