I think you may have it spelled wrong... from the yellow pages:

JOSE LUIS FERREIRO QUINTANILLA
MAQUINAS DE COSER (sewing machines)
Zaida, 62
28019 MADRID

914 626 580

Pericles, 31
28011
914 636 315

CLICK HERE for Yellow Pages results

It's close to the Oporto/Vista Alegre metro stops.

Also in the White Pages:

JOSE ALEJANDRO FERREIRO MARCOS
917 970 179
Hermandad de Donantes de Sangre, 51
28041 - MADRID - MADRID

I hope this gives you something to go on...

Thanks for the research...But I am positive about the name. He is American (Florida) and he married a spanish girl who's parents own the sewing repair shop. Last I knew he worked for them only...he may be in the phone book. Alex Ferraro (or something close to that). I can not remeber his wifes name. We were at TJ together 88-90.

Aaaa.. So it's the girl's parents who own the sewing shop. So the man's name would not be associated with them at all - nor would his name necessarily be on the phone bill - possibly HER name or that of the parents (if they're living with them) of the woman. If he moved in with her then the woman's name would likely be on the phone bill. If later they moved into a new house together and IF the phone number changed then HIS name would most likely be on the phone bill.

Unless/Until you're sure about the exact spelling of his name you won't have much luck, I'm afraid. You could try a Google search with his name in quotes like:

"Alex Ferrarro" +madrid

Good luck! Saludos, MadridMan

There are no Ferrarros and only a handful of Ferraros in the Madrid phone book. None with a first name resembling Alex.

There are 53 sewing machine shops listed... maybe looking at the listings will jog your memory (not all are named after the proprietors, but many are):

paginas amarillas--sewing machine shops
