Anna translated texts from my website from Spanish to English and everything was very easy and very good, super super good. Communication was perfect and very professional, and she delivered in good time - even a little earlier than I expected. The price was more or less what I expected and the quality-price relationship was good. I’m very happy and would recommend her.

I know Edit Viktoria for a very long time, and I had online English lessons with her when I wanted to develop my English and my knowledge for work in a multinational company, especially because I have to make speeches and so on. She is very good, very precise, very professional, and very kind. Whatever you ask her, she will look after it and she really tries to teach you the best.

I’ve been a client of Laci’s during my transition here, and she was really good at helping me find a better balance with diet for my physical needs and also mentally. I was struggling with food that really nourished me for the gym, my energy levels, and my menstrual cycle, and she helped me figure out which foods worked with me and which ones didn’t. She also planned supplements and natural foods for my needs, and gave me lessons on how to do some of these things at home, like fermentation. She’s been really hands on, and I felt like she helped me actually learn how to implement it into my lifestyle instead of having to rely on buying everything out.

Every business is screened before listing and every review is phone-verified, so the ranking reflects real expat experience, not who paid the most.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find English-speaking professionals in Madrid?
Browse Locallista by category, plumbers, doctors, lawyers, cleaners and more, and open any listing to see the languages they speak, their reviews and how to get in touch. Everyone listed serves the English-speaking community in Madrid, so you're not guessing whether you'll be understood.
Are the providers on Locallista vetted?
Yes. Every business is screened before it's listed, and every review is collected and phone-verified by our team, so what you read comes from real customers. The ranking reflects genuine expat experience, not who paid the most.
Is Locallista free to use?
Yes. Browsing, reading reviews and contacting providers is free with a free account. Businesses pay to be listed, but that never buys a better position, the order is based purely on real, phone-verified reviews.
Do people speak English in Madrid?
In central and tourist areas, and among younger people, yes, but Madrid is a little less English-friendly day to day than you might hope, and most admin happens in Spanish. For the providers you genuinely need to understand, we list ones who speak English.
What should I sort out first when I arrive in Madrid?
Most people start with the essentials: your NIE, a Spanish bank account, somewhere to live, and registering with the local healthcare system. A good gestor takes most of the admin pain away. For everything after that, from a doctor to home repairs, you'll find English-speaking help here.
Do I really need a NIE to get set up?
Almost certainly. Your NIE is one of the first things you'll need in Spain, for renting, banking and most admin. Many people hand it to a gestor. Browse our Legal, financial & administrative category for English-speaking gestores and lawyers who can help, sometimes before you arrive.
Which cities does Locallista cover?
Right now Locallista is live in Lisbon, Barcelona and Madrid, with more cities on the way. Each one has its own vetted, English-speaking providers and reviews from that local expat community.
