Barcelona is more alternative, but sure Madrid will have plenty of health food shops. My Spanish friend tells me vegetarianism is on a big increase in Spain.

we're moving to the spanish basque country (donosti) in summer, all being well, so will also be looking for digs/cycling club/work., etc. keep us posted on how it's going, runner. any particular reason you're moving to madrid?

being vegan in spain these days reminds me of what it was like to be vegan in rural england, circa 1992

yeah id have to ask why madrid, it was my least favourite spanish city,.
I also found the health food stores to be hugely expensive, but other than that i loved spain and the spanish!

friends/ culture (museums) / spanish / big enough

chloe have you been in scandinavia?

by **chloe** » Wed Jan 09, 2008 2:22 pm

hehehe nope,..do you mean because of the prices?
yeah and probably im spoiled with the low prices in this neck of the woods anyway.
when are you thinking of moving there exactly? We are passing through Amsterdam in March, would have liked to look you up if you are still there.!?

Runner - we are going late aug/early sept. Hopefully we'll get language teaching jobs and the agency will take care of the NI etc, but i think we're gonna go whether we get jobs or not :-)

I trust you're settling in well, what are you doing over there? Work, travelling, ?
