Gloria finished my website and designed the whole brand image for my consulting business. I asked for a minimalist but high-impact look in black and white with a few strokes of lime, and she created all the content and the design, very autonomous and she captured perfectly what I was transmitting. I could always locate her, she responded very quickly, converted my tweaks fast, and we set deadlines for each phase and she delivered on time. Prices felt medium low and quite affordable when I was starting, and the extra modules we added were also within what I expected.

Lima, Sep 2026
I worked with David on a new plant in the south of Lima, a mix of offices and the production area, and he handled the architecture from scratch plus the general coordination with mechanical, electrical and air extraction teams. We also remodeled some 20-year-old offices, put in Wi-Fi and reworked the spaces, and we are about to inaugurate them. Day to day he kept us aligned so things could move, very punctual and the communication was always clear. Price felt fair and we’re very happy with both projects, including the solar panels setup that now covers more than half of the energy for the plant.

I had an amazing experience with Felicia for acupuncture. I started in November, and it really helped me with stress and some mental and physical ailments, and she explained everything to me step by step and always checked up on me. She also answered all my parents’ questions, I brought them there and had an incredible experience. They really calmed our nerves, and the whole environment felt very welcoming and knowledgeable. The price felt fair too, and I have even taken friends and my parents with me.

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.
