  1. dear Mad-About-Madrid,
    Great web site ! I am a Spaniard, living abroad, and currently visiting my “Patria”. Your web site provides excellent information and great bar reviews ! By the way… can you suggest where I can find a British social club here in Madrid where I can meet up with Brits ?
    ¿ Muchas Gracias !
    Ernesto.
