Experience in Madrid,Spain by Brillianne

What is it like to live in Madrid? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

It is like the European version of New York City. The city never sleeps, people are out all day and night walking in the streets. Lights are everywhere. It’s a beautiful city to visit, party and learn about new cultures.
