Moving to Madrid

Madrid is Spain's capital — the country's main employment centre, with strong public services and a lively 24/7 rhythm.

Empadronamiento

Register your address at your Junta Municipal within a month of moving in — you need it for healthcare and the TIE.

Housing

Idealista and Fotocasa are the main portals. Landlords typically ask for 2 months' deposit plus 1 month agency fee.
