But what may surprise you is that within 30 minutes of opening up these places really come alive. They offer you the perfect opportunity if you wish to immerse yourself in the local culture. Although a great many tours are available in English if you want the opportunity to practice your Spanish then opt for one where they only speak Spanish. You’ll find this especially useful if you intend to remain in Madrid for any length of time as it really helps to improve it.
