New Friends in Spain
My name is Jane. I am a Scottish girl living in Madrid. I came to the Spain in the summer to improve on my Spanish. I studied Spanish at classes at SALT in the center of Edinburgh - and since I have been here I have been able to fine tune my Spanish. I would like to meet up with some other British girls or English speaking girls that are in Madrid.

Re: New Friends in Spain
Welcome from a Scot in Spain, a short tempered, grumpy nit picker to boot 
the result of trip to UK, not quite as plan, within a day of returning full of ear nose and throat bug then end up with small fracture to a wee toe. Confined to chair one floor up but not for long !
Anyway I want to query why ScottishinSpain ? was the link for Scottish language lessons....... that would be hilarious or Scottish goods ? if so can you get me Galloway cheddar ?
I would kill for some of it today.
PS not in Madrid, way down south, separated from Portugal by the river. Stunning view

Ha, no it wasn't for Scottish language courses; although I'm sure I could teach those classes
The link was for the Spanish class that I took in Edinburgh - It's SALT Edinburgh: http://www.saltedinburgh.co.uk/
I do miss a lot of Scottish food too; there are supermarkets here where you can get British food, but not Galloway cheese unfortunately.

Re: New Friends in Spain
My mum does send over some food for me, but I'm starting to get used to the Spanish cuisine.
