It's been 9 days since we've landed in Madrid and theres been no stopping. However, on the plane trip here, I thought we were literally about to turn back to New York. Just as we could see the Madrid horizon, a couple of thousand feet up and away from the runway, our plane started to ascent and hover around the airport. It was surprising at the moment, but the pilot assured us there was just runway traffic below. (Something that you think would be cleared at least 20,000 feet before landing.)
Since finally landing it's been running around communicating with broken Spanglish looking for an apartment, phone, food, etc. and meeting new classmates.
We've found some barrios which are somewhat comparable to NYC - Malasana (like East Village), Salamanca, where IE Business School is (like Upper East Side).
Here are some shots of the things we've seen:
