Just to put Siesta into perspective (we have "Sesta" as well, specially in Alentejo). If you picture yourself working in agriculture, or doing outside activities when it can get to 40 degrees Celsius, you''ll see why it makes sense to just skip the hottest hours of the day, and go for the coolest ones instead.
Really appreciate you putting chapter titles in the video timeline. Helps someone like me who is interested in life abroad, but not Madrid specifically. So I can click to those certain areas that are more applicable to me
You're welcome. Very interesting! So you're a sub here at ExpatsEverywhere to discover what it's like to live abroad! You're exactly who we created the channel for way back in 2015. - Josh
@@ExpatsEverywhere Yup! Even if I'm not interested in living in Spain in particular (although I'd still love to vacation there for a little bit) since I'm more interested in Italy and Spain is nearby I figured why not get both aspects, Spain and living abroad in general
@@ExpatsEverywhere Thanks. Honestly, Spain is d only country in Europe that I've visited so far. Been to Madrid, Seville, Torremolinos, Granada, Sierra Nevada, Jerez n Cadiz. 😁
I have a duplex apartment in Madrid in Arguelles. I am an American here in Los Angeles. I have not been to Madrid since January 2020; during the beginning stages of the public ado over protocol, etc. I plan to return on an extended period in May. I have a Golden Visa that I just renewed at the embassy here. Question: does my NIE have an expiration date? Also. I have an 18 Audi S8. What is is the process if I have let my car registration lapse for the last two years to get it reinstated? My insurance carrier emailed me and advised me that it is out of registration. I pay insurance and had it modified for fire & theft when gone. Is it just fees and money? I have/ had a portero(doorman) that helps me with stuff. He has retired and I am having issue with the replacement portero in returning my calls and he does not text or email. He does not want to call me as its an expense. I offered a digital calling card but he claims to not do email! The prior portero would religiously start the car once every few weeks for me, keep it clean and have it ready for me. I have a battery tender hooked up and plugged in. The new portero told me he unplugged it as it is a fire hazzard!!! This one told me last we spoke that he is not a mechanic and that cars are bad for the environment.

Well said, Pedro!
