Went to Madrid last November.
Not very nice in the 'main bit'; dirty, graffiti and rubbish everywhere, a lot of beggars.
It wasn't warm (I know, what was I expecting in November?) but I might as well have gone to Deptford or Brentford.
Are you sure you aren't describing Barcelona?
I spent four days in Madrid last week and it was relatively clean and tidy for a big city, especially the Metro system (although there were plenty of beggars).
Curiously I found Barcelona much 'nicer'/cleaner but I have to admit that was 3 years ago. I will say that there was a problem with sewerage and the whole road our hotel was in - just off that main drag down to the beach - was in various stages of being dug up and the smell of poo poo was ghastly. 24/7.
Thank goodness our privatised water authorities here do things differently.
