In my quest to become a true Spaniard (in heart, if not in government documentation), I have not only been learning the language (grammar, syntax)—I’ve been learning how to speak like a Spaniard. And that means learning Spanish street slang.
From sushi to tapas, from Hemingway's favorite sherry bar to an international blues bar, my new friend helps me celebrate my first birthday in Spain like a madrileña as we make our way through Madrid's historic el centro.
