No sabía cómo cambiar "on live"... ¿quizá "in real life"?

I'm not from there, but I am familiar with the city. It's good you won't be there in the summer, because it hot there in July and August.

It's a big city with unique ambience. Less bustle than NYC. Lots of activity late at night--especially on weekends. Lots of cultural events. Fine museums, theater opera, zarzuela and other music events. Great dance companies (Ullate, National ballet of Spain are worth seeing even if you know nothing about dance). Soccer (Fútbol) is the most popular sport, but basketball it also popular.Madrid has good and very inexpensive food and wine at lunchtime's menú del día especially if you like fish. Fine public transportation and world-class train transport to anywhere there, and the trains go fast making a day trip (even better an overnight) to beautiful Córdova or Valladolid -even Barcelona possible.

If you can communicate in Spanish it is obviously helpful. I think English is
less spoken in Madrid than in other European capitals. Unlike many
Latin Amercans, Madrileños are slightly less out-going and less likely to ask you where you are from or to tell you how well you speak their language.

Awesome!!! Sounds like its going to be incredible!!! I do not know if I will be there during the summer, but the heat is not a problem. Its the cold I dislike with a passion.

I am so looking forward to this. I will definitely be taking trips to other cities, and the beach!!! I want to travel outside of Spain a little while I am there. How are the fairs to get to the other close by countries?

Dance is not really my thing, but I have been to a couple different shows that incorporate it into the shows and it has never been uninteresting. I'll will definitely check it out, after all, I am going there for the full cultural experience.

Thanks a bunch. God this make me want to go there now!!!!
