Latitude recently published a piece in response to the Expat City Ranking 2023 by InterNations. In it, there was a section about what has become one of my favourite Spanish cities, Madrid. Here is that text in full:
“Majestic Madrid
Trailing Ras Al Khaimah and Abu Dhabi but ahead of Mexico City, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, and Muscat comes Madrid. As you’d expect of the Spanish capital, “Digital Life (10th) in Madrid is a particular highlight.”
The InterNations findings show that “Expats find it easy to pay without cash (6th), get high-speed internet access at home (6th), and have unrestricted access to online services (7th).”
Madrid “rises to the top of the ranking for its Leisure Options (1st): its culture and nightlife (1st) can’t be beat. The culinary variety and dining options (4th), paired with the many opportunities for recreational sports (7th), further enrich expats’ free time.
Orience also has an office in the Spanish capital. Almuez Mansour, their Business Development Manager, has resided there as an expat since 1998. With a quarter of a century of life experience, we asked him what made Madrid such an easy city for foreigners to relocate to.
“Walk around Madrid and you’ll appreciate its heritage,” insists Mansour. “There’s amazing architecture, both traditional and modern. You can enjoy the city’s museums and art galleries at your leisure.”
Mansour also highlights how important Madrid is, for linguistic and work reasons. “Expats enjoy the opportunity to learn the world’s second business language and the third most spoken generally globally. There are many coworking places, bars, and coffee shops with excellent wifi connections.””
