Hi, My husband and I (Americans) are moving to Madrid in August/September. We've been living in Barcelona for two years while he's been attending an MBA program. Well, looks like he's gotten a job at a Spanish consulting firm.

I'm pregnant and due at the end of July, and we'll move to Madrid when we're able to travel afterwards (my doc here says 40 days, we may try to do it a little sooner).

Any advice on what neighborhoods to live in that would be comfortable for a small family (baby will be our first, but we also have two American cats with us!). We prefer a neighborhood with some green in it, I've heard Salamanca neighborhood is nice? DH will be working near metro station Serrano.

Also, if you know about what it might cost...in Barcelona we're paying 100,000 for a small two bedroom modern fully furnished apt in a good neighborhood, and will be looking for something a little bigger, preferably with terrace and air conditioning!

Is there a forum to exchange info on living in Madrid, for expats or otherwise?

And any other sources for more info would be appreciated!
Gracias!
