Madridthe capital of Spainis one of the most populated cities in the country with all types of nationalities. A city cosmopolitan which, however, also has a feeling or customs very typical of the inhabitants of Madrid and which are reflected in one way or another through a video full of humor which sweeps across social networks and which makes us understand those things that those who live in Madrid don’t like at all or hate the most.
Although it is a dynamic place, full of life and with countless projects, the inhabitants of Madrid share certain discomforts that, on the other hand, arise easily when living in a big city. And living in Madrid can be as fascinating as it is frustrating. Between the constant agitation and the singularities of the capital, there is things that are an inevitable part of everyday life, and some of them aren’t really pleasant. Things that Madrilenians hate and which are reflected in the influencer and tiktoker Álvaro Casares in a video that caused a sensation on social networks. With his characteristic humor and a large dose of irony, Casares has masterfully compiled the ten things that annoy Madrilenians the most. From the price of living over infinite distances, passing through the traffic and ever-present noise, his video became something many share.
I’m from Madrid and these are the things we hate the most
He Video of Casarès It reflects in a humorous tone things that no Madrid resident, and even many, can identify with. The first thing this tiktoker talks about is the cost of living in Madrid since refers to pricesas he was presented at a festival with his drink in hand. Then he moves on to the second thing that bothers him and which is none other than the rushingsince everyone always seems to be running around. Also in your video wishes “good luck” to those looking for an apartmentreflecting in a single word something that disturbs many and which has to do with the housing problem in the capital.
Distances and traffic
On the other hand, having to travel long distances every day is another of the things this Madrid native (and many others) complains about. In his video, the young man explains that Distances in Madrid “are a species in themselves and also talks about M-30, say about her that the highway has “72 lanes”.
Traffic is another aspect mentioned. For Madrid residents, getting around the city means dealing with constant traffic, endless queues and the near-impossible task of finding parking. Casares describes it perfectly: “Trying to find a parking space is an Olympic sport.”
The young man also points to a nightclub, saying he doesn’t know if it’s good or bad but “there are always people” and before pointing out that “the air in Madrid is regular.”
Madrid has no beach
Special mention to the complaint regarding the absence of a beach in Madrid. In his video Casares shows a large beach but comments that it is the one Carabanchel should have, making it clear that this is something many of them miss during the hot summer months. A joke that reflects the desire of many to be able to enjoy a refreshing getaway without having to leave the city. Although the capital offers many alternatives, such as its swimming pools which tend to fill to the brim during the months of July and August, there is nothing like the feeling of having the sea nearby, something that Madrid residents can only dream of while enduring the suffocating heat of July and August.
Madrid, one of the most popular cities
Even though Álvaro Casares’ video focuses on complaints, the truth is that Madrid is a city that its inhabitants would not change for anything in the world. And despite the high prices, the endless distances, the constant noise and the absence of a beach, Madrilenians maintain a unique relationship with their city. They may complain about her every day, but they also love her deeply. And it is also one of the Spanish capitals in terms of tourism.

In July 2024, the capital welcomed 743,601 international tourists, who spent 1,424 million euros.which represents 17.2% more than the same month of the previous year. These data consolidate Madrid as one of the most important destinations in the country, occupying sixth place in the national ranking of international tourists and positioning itself as the city with the highest average expenditure per visitor in the country, with an average of 1 833 euros.
