Spanish
(Castilian Spanish - castellano) is the main language in Madrid, being
the capital of Spain. Because of the large amount of tourists and Madrid´s
international business reputation, English is widely understood.
However,
not everyone speaks it, and you´ll find people are much more appreciative
(and probably give you better service) if you try and muddle through with
a bit of Spanish. To pick up a bit of the lingo, go to the Language
Web Site.
