I'm going to be in madrid for 4 months and I heard from someone that went that it is a good idea to just buy a cell phone there- she said go to el corte ingles. Any thoughts??
el corte is pretty expensive.. you're better off price comparing in the local shops. anyhow, I think 4 months is worthy of a cell phone purchase, yes. It's key if you want to have a social life in Spain.
