Thank you, Perikles. So, it's better using "the".

I think so, yes. At least it is never wrong.

Remember that there are stylistic differences between British English and American English. If you're learning a more British English (which I believe is what is taught in Spain), then use the "the". I'm just saying that it sounds a bit strange to my ear to have "the" in the phrase. Not "wrong" ... just strange because we don't really use it like that.
