I was there in the early to mid 80's as a wife of an American Airman. I was young, 19. I wasn't sure if the Spanirds liked us or not. I think about my time there now, and wish I had enjoyed it more. I regret not liking it then. But being there as a young 19 year old and representing the US was hard. It is different when you are there as a tourist. If I could visit Madrid now, I would certainly love it. I hope we get to go back to visit at least once more.
