There is an outside chance we could be off to Madrid.
We lived there for eighteen months and I was so unhappy there. So lonely. My Spanish is OK for getting by, but not in terms of letting my WONDERFUL personality fly free - I just felt like half a person. We made a few tactical errors, to be fair, but Im trying to be open minded about this job as it would be a Great Move.
We´ve gone through the list of the reasons we were so miserable there the last time and know what to fix...one of the main reasons were that we lived in Chamartin...I hate ugly big city buildings...if we were to move back, id want to love further out in the burbs, west of the city..Pozuelo, Boadilla etc.
So, where would be best to live? Id want to live somewhere
- green
- community feel with a town centre, pref something looking at least Spanish
- other SAHMs (we were the only guiris where we lived, so quite an insular wee place, would need to meet others like us).
...and if possible, somewhere it doesnt all drop dead at 1pm on a saturday
....somewhere where there is the slight chance of a breeze...
ive been trying to google those towns to see what theyre like, but it always seems like lots of scrub land and modern flats. I dont mind living on an estate but want to be able to walk to the shops etc.
Does anybody have any advice?
