About Madrid
Spain's capital offers the country's biggest expat community, world-class museums, and a nightlife scene that doesn't start until midnight. Americans report spending 27-30% less than in the US, and the metro system is excellent. You'll need Spanish for daily life — English fluency is not as common as you'd expect — but neighborhoods like Malasana and La Latina are welcoming and walkable.
