I moved here in 2010 and I remember bars allowing smoking inside, struggling to be understood by waiters, and people telling me how throwing the paper napkin on the floor was what was expected. A lot has changed what with the specialty coffee shops, the variety of international foods, the screening of movies in original version and hearing snippets of English in neighborhoods far from the "center."

And I am so happy to be living here as this city transforms. Well captured!

Bets paying off in about 500 years is :). What an investment cycle ;).. But so totally agree with the entire narrative how the city has changed and evolved in the last 10 to 20 years..

No se lo que pretende con este artículo, lleno de falsedades y mentiras.

Describe un Madrid en el 2004 como si fuese una sucia calle de Delhi o Bombay.

Nada más lejos de la realidad.

Antes de atreverse a escribir, debería estudiar más sobre la que escribe.
