Hello there!
I just moved to Madrid this week, and am reaching out to meet as many people as I can...of course I want to put myself out there and gain some Spanish friends and practice my Spanish...but the comfort of some American friends, especially in the beginning, is always good!
Anywho, any words of advice, suggestions, or just a desire to meet up for a glass of wine would be greatly welcomed 
Muchas gracias--ciao!

Bienvenidos a Madrid! The best way to get yourself out there and meet new people is to join an intercambio, an international language exchange group. There are many in Madrid. The best one is madridbabel.es/

Welcome to Madrid, maria_nicholas! I have no doubt you'll make friends in no time. The usual "Intercambios" at O'Neils on Tuesdays and The Beer Station on Thursdays will no doubt have your Facebook Friends File bursting at the seems in no time. At these things you'll meet Spaniards wanting to practice their English and with them you can practice your Spanish. You'll also likely make a number of non-Spanish friends.
Saludos, MadridMan @ http://MadridMan.com!
