I was really looking forward to spending the day exploring madrid but after dinner last night my stomach started feeling off. By morning i had cramps, nausea and basically no appetite. Nothing too serious but enough to make walking around the city feel like a bad idea.

The majority of the time i spent here in my hotel room has just been relaxing. staying hydrated and eating light. it's irritating because i have only a few days left here and i didn't want to waste a day being ill.

any person that has experienced problems with their stomach while travelling in Mandrid then how do you usually cope? Any simple tips for getting back on your feet or finding basic medical advice if it does not improve?

Llevo siendo del madrid desde toda mi vida, ahora tengo 15, me encantaría saber a que hora entran y salen para intentar hacerme una foto con ellos, vengo desde Mallorca así que es mi primera vez, me podríais dar consejos para sacarme fotos con los jugadores o con Mourinho, que es mi entrenador favorito, horarios para saber cuando entran o cuando salen, si puede ser responderme hoy que voy a coger el barco y llegare por la mañana asi que tendré tiempo para leerlo , muchísimas gracias y Hala Madrid 🇪🇸

Hello, how crowded is Madrid these days? Im arriving in Madrid 1 December should i visit Valencia first and then visit Madrid on weekends?

I made a post earlier asking for hospital recommendations for heart issues and shortness of breath. I asked my hostal which one nearby is close and reputable, and they sent me here. They charged me €400 in the door and said I could get certain tests, waited hours and once I saw the doctor he was incredibly dismissive. Just listened to my lungs and said everything is fine and I can go.

I told him the person at the initial desk told me I would get a list of tests like blood oxygen, blood test, ecg, etc before I agreed to pay, doctor shut me down and said that they don’t do those things and I was told wrong, in a tone like this was my mistake or misunderstanding.

I am very uncomfortable with this guy and don’t feel like I am getting taken seriously. Is there anything I can do at this point to get serious help?

¡Hola! Mi novio y yo estamos planeando un viaje a Europa y nos quedaremos en Madrid 3 días (2 noches). Buscamos recomendaciones de alojamiento, ¡ya que será nuestra primera vez allí!

Hemos leído que hay barrios mejores que otros para alojarse. ¡Así que les tengo algunas preguntas!

• ⁠¿Qué hoteles/lugares recomiendan que nos ofrezcan una buena relación calidad-precio?
• ⁠¿Qué hoteles/barrios deberíamos evitar?
• ⁠¿Qué lugares de Madrid, aunque no sean muy conocidos, no deberíamos perdernos?

No buscamos nada demasiado caro, pero tampoco queremos compartir baño. ¡Así que estamos abiertos a sugerencias!

¡Muchas gracias de antemano! :)

Visiting and been having some weird heart palpitations and trouble breathing, wondering what the best ER is for someone who’s an EU passport holder (Italy) but doesn’t have an EHIC because I’m currently residing outside of the EU? I have health insurance but I don’t believe it covers much abroad (one of the shitty US high deductible plans from a private insurer). Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone !

I (21F) will be in Madrid to see the F1 GP from the 10 to 14th September.

It’ll be my first time here and I’d like to meet with people around my age, to visit the town and to get to the track together.

Dm me if you want to ! We could even do a group chat :)

Muchas gracias 😁

Hola todos! I’m visiting Madrid in a few weeks. I lived there for a year a few years ago, but back then I was not sober :).

I know Spain is super forward with NA options, but wanted to see if there were any mocktail bars or good restaurants with drink options.

I know there’s a ton of NA beer, but hoping for some other options if anyone has any recs :)

Hi! I live in Valdebebas, very close to the new MADRING circuit, and I'm considering making my private apartment available during the Madrid F1 weekend (September 10–13).

It's a modern one-bedroom apartment with a private terrace, around a 5-minute walk from the circuit.

The building also has a swimming pool and gym.

I'm mainly looking for one responsible F1 fan travelling to Madrid for the Grand Prix.

If you're coming to Madrid for the race and are still looking for accommodation close to the circuit, feel free to send me a private message and I can give you more information.

Also any people who want to join? I’m traveling from Barcelona on Tuesday.

Age 20-35 (I’m in the middle haha)

I’m a designer by profession. I like aesthetics, history, any sports or good talk. I don’t drink but like techno.

Also suggestions on where to live and places which I should not miss as 1st time traveler.

Thanks ❤️

I will be based in Leganés near C5. I have an event in the centre meaning I need to go there and back everyday for a week.

Is it best to just pay out of pocket and buy single trips on the cercanias? Or is there a weekly commuter pass that’d be more economical?

Thanks for your help.

Hello! Is the best way to get from Madrid to Toledo still the Avant train out of the Atocha station? And is the best way to get to Segovia the bus from Moncloa via avanzabus.com? How many days ahead should we book those tickets? It looks like you need to book times for each leg and can’t get a flexible round trip ticket. Thank you!

I'm travelling from Barcelona to Madrid by train and then taking a Flixbus departing from Madrid South bus station. I can see that it's a 30 min walk from Atocha to the bus station, or one stop on the metro. How long is a safe buffer for this trip? I'm looking at a RENFE train arriving at 11.44 with a Flixbus departure of 12.55. Are AVEs often late? Feels like there should be plenty of time but I would prefer not to miss the bus! Also not sure if Flixbus has a required check-in time as I can't find anything about it on the website. Thanks!

I’m traveling to Madrid in November for a few days and would love some advice on where to stay. Which areas would you recommend for a first-time visitor who wants to explore the city and have easy access to the main sights? Also, I’d like to take a day trip outside Madrid. Is Toledo the best option, or are there other places you’d recommend?

The Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum’s "Inclusive Love" thematic tour explores more than five centuries of Western art through stories of LGBTQ+ identity, desire, and self-expression. As a self-guided permanent audio tour, it reframes familiar masterpieces to reveal queer narratives that have long existed alongside the heteronormative narratives so commonly portrayed in art. Visitors who engage with the tour can explore the museum in its entirety, with "Inclusive Love’s" work featured throughout.

It's a direct flight to should be on time. I have a small-ish checked bag, which I could probably put in the cabin, if I needed to

Landed in T4, I know the C-trains run direct to the airport.

Feels like I should be able to make that without too much drama, no?

What do you think?
