Jonzy's catalog estimates roughly $2,005/month all-in living costs in Madrid (about $1,200/mo for a mid-market one-bedroom), with safety scored 84/100, internet 85/100, and visa difficulty rated "Moderate". Tapas in La Latina on Sunday: Cava Baja street is wall-to-wall tapas bars; go early (1pm) and eat standing, moving every two drinks. Order croquetas, jamón ibérico de bellota, and tortilla. Casa Lucio for the famous huevos rotos. Madrid eats absurdly late: Lunch starts 2pm; dinner is 9:30–11pm. Bars don't fill until midnight; clubs from 2am. August the city empties; locals flee the heat to the coast. Spring and autumn are perfect. For neighbourhood detail, cost breakdowns, and visa paths, see the full Madrid city guide.

Metro is world-class and cheap: A monthly abono runs €54.60 (€20 if under 26) for unlimited metro, bus, and Cercanías. The Metro is fast, safe, and runs until 1:30am. Walk in the centre; distances are deceptive on the map.
