Editor (General & Expats in Madrid): Sarah 

I am a South African living in Madrid since 2005. I love this city, its people, its streets and its buzz. Therefore more than a year ago, I created this blog to inform friends and visitors of the city about what it has to offer. The result is Cheap In Madrid, a blog whose 95% content is for free events and activities from free music concerts, free art expositions, free workshops, free theatre, free museum visits, places to learn Spanish or other languages free of charge, cheap places to enjoy tapas and other typical Spanish dishes.
