It is a nice city. Many people don't speak English, but that doesn't stop them. I was impressed at how many conversations I had, without understanding the words, but everything worked out perfectly in the end. Whether it was trying to get a taxi to take me somewhere or ordering food in a restaurant.
I tried using my best Italian, but that wasn't much help. It was like they understood my English better, yet they didn't feel comfortable speaking it. I also looked up some Spanish words on my phone and managed to pronounce some of them well enough to be understood.
One day I went to the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu and went on the tour. It was impressive, and we even got to see the locker rooms and sit on the bench.
So Madrid is definitely well worth a visit and I'll probably be going there again some day.
