I used to live in Barcelona (Sitges), but the water was terrible (it sounds like I complain a lot, but I do like Spain actually :-).

Trust me, it takes a lot to get me "going" ... can handle a Brick Lane Phaal, Finnish horsemeat salami or Durban street corner bunny chow, no problem.

Sorry not the original poster, we don't eat ANY seafood (Madrid is probably not as good for that :-), but yes whole family have an odd sensitivity to food in Spain since we are "multi national" and lived in 5 countries, travelled extensively etc.

... I should try remember that ... have lived in Madrid for almost a year and had food poisoning 5 times :-) the last time I had it must be 1996 ... Spanish food IS great (and the only place that beats it by a hair is Japan), but I have personally noticed that only about 1/3rd of people wash their hands after going to the bathroom, so hygiene isn't as much a priority as, say Scandinavia (or Japan).

My wife and daughter both often get mild food poisoning from almost any restaurant in Spain. I suspect the levels of hygiene are not the best, I'm afraid.
