Hey there,
Good question! If anyone wants to track down that information and post it, that'd be great. All I know is that cabs are about 1/2 the price as back home for the same distance, and since distances are about 1/2 of back home... well you get the picture. Traffic can be a real bitch though of course.

Did you see the Cost of living in Spain (http://www.spainexpat.com/spain/information/cost_of_living_in_spain/) page?

What's the article for? Upcoming book we should know about? ;)

it's the average price for Spain in 2004 => much more expensive in 2006 in Madrid.
