Before you move: our read of the numbers

Practical conclusions we draw from Majadahonda’s figures. They are inferences, not official statistics: each says what it rests on.

Some English, but learn Spanish early

Our guess

You will meet English speakers, mostly in the centre and at international employers. Shops, landlords and schools expect Spanish. Contracts, the town hall and most doctors work in Spanish.

  • 35.6% of residents speak English (Comunidad de Madrid), 2021
  • 5.1% born elsewhere in Europe or in North America (Comunidad de Madrid)

Air-conditioning is not a luxury

Likely

Summer nights stay warm, so sleep depends on a cooled bedroom. Check for air-conditioning before you sign.

  • 11 nights a year above 20 °C
  • 33 days a year above 35 °C

Winters need real heating

Likely

Frosty nights are common. Many older Spanish flats are poorly insulated: ask about heating and the winter energy bill.

  • 46 frost days a year

Ready for remote work

Likely

Almost every home can get gigabit fibre, so working from home is not a gamble on the flat you pick.

  • 99% of homes can get gigabit
