Hi jo price! Welcome to the group.
I'm very sorry to tell you that it will be impossible to find your friend, "José María", unless he still works at that particular hotel in Menorca. There are quite probably millions of José Marías in all of Spain (it's a VERY common name) and many thousands in Madrid alone. Unless you have his two last names you won't have much luck, with a photo or without. If he was a student in Madrid, that wouldn't mean that he lives/lived IN Madrid, but it's possible. Is he a university student or is he younger than that? The best thing you could do, I guess, would be to GO TO MADRID and post his photo on any surface you can find and list your contact telephone number. I wouldn't recommend this, but can't think of any other way unless you know his two last names AND the name of his school at least. Good luck in your search! Hope it's not a life-and-death kind of situation.
Saludos, MadridMan
