The streets and terraces of the Spanish capital are filled with people thanks to the good weather and the end of the Emergency State in Spain. Below you’ll find some great options to move around Madrid and discover this awesome city.
If the route you want to travel is not too long, moving by foot is surely the best option, it allows us to enjoy and discover everything that surrounds us and is also a great way to stay active. Madrid concentrates the majority of it’s points of interest quite close to each other.
If your circulation radius is somewhat more extensive, the bike can be your best ally. The ideal thing is to rent an electric bike, you can find them in many points of the city, it’s a cheap and easy to use option. It is also a clean alternative, since it does not pollute and allows you, like walking, to enjoy all the charms of the city in the foreground.
Another great option that is gaining many users is the electric scooters, the city puts them at your disposal in a great variety of points, and like the bike, it is an alternative that allows you to travel wider distances without giving up complete enjoyment of the landscapes and facades that surround you.
For longer distances the best option is to use the Metro or buses. Madrid’s metro network is one of the best in the world, allowing you to reach almost any corner of the city in a short time. Madrid also has an excellent network of urban buses that connects many parts of the city.
Carsharing has been accumulating more and more users, and its advantages are multiple. You can access any of the vehicles parked around Madrid through your own Smartphone. At the end of the route you can park it in the green or blue zone without having to pay for parking, you only pay for the minutes of use.
Another very similar option is motosharing, Madrid groups together a giant fleet of these two-wheeled vehicles that offer greater speed and agility to move around and park, in addition to the advantages offered by the ZERO sticker if we are going to drive through central Madrid.
Whichever option you choose, make the most of the possibilities offered by the Spanish capital, walk through its streets, soak up its history and enjoy its atmosphere.

Just like every year, with the beginning of May comes one of the most moving dates of the year, Mother’s Day. This is a very emotional day especially for new mothers, long-time mothers, and for all the proud sons and daughters.
In Spain, the celebration of Mother’s Day is traditionally celebrated as a family, people usually go out to eat and enjoy activities. Mothers are honored and pampered by their children and other family members with displays of affection, small gifts, and presents. In schools, children often do creative gifts, such as greeting cards, drawings, or more elaborate crafts.
The origin of Mother’s Day dates back to the time of the Egyptian Empire, when homage was paid to the goddess Isis, who was considered the mother of pharaohs and protector of her people. In Greek culture, goddess Rhea was honored, she was goddess of motherhood and fertility, and mother of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. In ancient Rome, Cibeles was the mother goddess, the party that was celebrated in her honor was called the Hilaria, it was held on March 15 with a duration of three days.
This special date has been changing throughout history and over the years, nowadays the celebration in Spain is the first Sunday of May, this 2021 it’s on May 2nd.
Celebrate this beautiful date with Wifivox! Whether you’re lucky enough to be able to celebrate it with your mother or if she’s far away, stay connected and share your experiences with her! In celebration of Mother’s Day we offer you a 15% discount using the code MAMA21 on our website, or buy your own Wifi device with a 46 € discount +3GB for free, total price: 79 € .

Go with the basics already learned. It’s not necessary to speak a language fluently to travel abroad, however, if you do not speak the language, it’s advisable to spend a little time learning basic words and phrases that will surely be useful to you. You’d not believe how much it can help you to know few basic words such as: “Hi, Thank you, Yes, No, Please, Bathroom, Help…”
Smiling is very useful in almost any country, except Russia where it’s not usual to smile at foreigners, but generally by being nice to the locals they’ll try to help you as much as they can despite the language barrier.
Make hand gestures. Pointing, imitating, or trying to communicate with your hands often gets your message across. Be careful because in certain countries you can offend with certain gestures, if you think this is the case and you have offended someone by mistake, ask for forgiveness, the word “sorry” in English accompanied by the gesture of putting your hands together (prayer) is known globally.
Download a translation App on your phone. The Google Translate app is a very good option, camera focus on the text you want to translate (a menu, a sign …) and the app will translate it instantly. It also makes it easy for you to have a conversation with someone, use the microphone to say what you want in your language and the app will translate it into the selected language.
Have the route from the airport to your hotel already clear. If you’ve decided to go by train or bus to the city, be very clear about which lines you should take and where to find them, airports usually have signs in English or recognizable signs. If you plan to take a taxi, find out before what they usually charge to avoid scams, and if they offer you the possibility, best option is to use your hotel’s shuttle.
Take a paper map with you in the local language. You can easily get one at your hotel, ask a receptionist to mark the places you want to visit, in case of loss, just by pointing to the place on the map they will quickly know where you want to go and will try to help you get to your destination.
IMPORTANT, take a hotel card or write down somewhere the address where you are staying, in case of loss you can always show it to someone and they will for sure help you return without problems.

Tension and stress are one of the most common obstacles affecting employee performance in the workplace. Here you’ll find some easy tips that may help you relieve stress at work.
Start the day right
Starting the morning with stress can affect you tremendously at work, getting up with not much time, having a sloppy breakfast, or dealing with traffic makes you get to work already stressed. Trying to plan your mornings better, getting up early, having a good breakfast and maintaining a positive attitude can help you a lot when it comes to facing the day with more peace of mind.
Stay away from conflict and conflicting people
Interpersonal conflicts affect physical and emotional health, especially at work. Sometimes it can be difficult not to get involved in problems between colleagues, but whenever possible it’s advisable to avoid them at all costs. If the conflict finds you, be sure to handle it calmly and respectfully so that you stay at peace with yourself. Try not to participate in gossip and don’t share too many personal opinions about religion and politics. Whenever possible, try to avoid gossipy, confrontational, and toxic people.
Keep the order
Planning ahead and staying organized can greatly reduce your stress at work. Organizing your time well means dealing with less rush, being able to meet deadlines, and being more efficient overall. Keep your workspace organized, having a clean and organized table and a computer with all the files ordered and accessible will make you feel much more relaxed and comfortable at work.
Set priorities
Sometimes feeling stressed comes down to how organized you are. Try to establish a priority list at the beginning of each week, write a list of tasks from most to least urgent and cross them off as you go through them.
Healthy lifestyle
Leading a sedentary lifestyle greatly affects stress at work, try to lead a healthy life, eat well, exercise and respect the recommended hours of sleep.
Take your time to recharge batteries
Taking “short breaks” of a few minutes throughout the workday can prevent burnout. Getting up to go to the bathroom, drinking water or watching a funny video on your phone can help you disconnect for a few moments and get back to work with better mood. If you have the chance, use your lunchtime-break to go out and stretch your legs, take a walk and get some fresh air.
Balance between work and personal life
One of the most important things is maintaining a work-life balance. Never take work home, try not to think about work problems during your free time, do not check work mail or answer requests outside of your working hours. Separating work time from personal time is key to feeling good about yourself and not reaching exhaustion and burnout at work.
Go on holiday
Take a few days off whenever you think you need them and take the opportunity to disconnect, you don’t need to travel the world, it’s also enough to take a few days off at home to recharge your batteries and come back with more strength.
These smart accessories can be of great help to travelers nowadays, below you’ll find a list of travel devices that can make your life much easier while on-the-go and ensure that your next trips are easier, safer and more enjoyable.
Smart suitcase
Smart suitcases are something relatively new, although we see them more and more frequently and it’s not surprising, this invention is really useful. From your own mobile phone you can locate your suitcase at all times. Some models even allow you to charge your electronic devices on it through a USB port. Take a look at this Smart suitcase model that also has handsfree system and recognition of the human body
Universal plug adapter
This useful device has become a travel essential, it’s pretty convenient to be able to carry a small all-in-one adapter that allows you to plug your devices all over the world. This universal plug is affordable and functional
Smartphone stabilizer
One of the most used accessories today, this smart gadget allows us to record much sharper videos without worrying about the uncomfortable hand shakings and take photos or selfies more easily since you can manage all the camera settings from its handle. Take a look at the DJI Osmo pocket which is both stabilizer and a very powerful camera.
Travel iron

If you’re interested in improving your photography skills without having to buy an expensive professional equipment, pay attention! Below you’ll find several tips to up your game and start taking quality photos using your Smartphone.
1 – Use the camera settings. Some of the settings may seem a bit complicated to use, but there are some basic ones that can easily help you improve your photos. Just by touching the screen of our device, it automatically identifies the subject of our picture and focuses. Other easy-to-use settings are brightness, contrast, saturation, among others.
2 – Keep the lens clean. Keep in mind that your Smartphone tends to get dirty all the time since we handle it a lot, therefore the lens gets easily dirty and this can be reflected in the quality of your photos.
3 – Take advantage of natural light whenever possible. This is the key factor in photography, as long as there is good lighting, both indoors and outdoors, you’ll have a much better chance to get an optimal result on your pictures.
4 – Increase the power of your lens. There are small and inexpensive gadgets that you can easily place on your Smartphone that help you significantly improve the appearance and quality of your photos.
5 – Don’t be afraid to use the grid. Framing is another very important aspect of a good photo, using the grid will allow you to adjust the image easily. Most Smartphones include this option, so we invite you to try this useful tool.
6 – Practice macro photography. This technique consists of capturing very small objects or details and expanding their scale, creating a very striking effect that significantly highlights the small details.
7 – Photo editors, our great allies. There is nothing that we cannot fix with a good editing app, from retouching the color or exposure, to adjusting the frame, increasing the light or testing the effect of the innumerable filters.
8 – Take a lot of pictures. It’s very difficult to get the perfect photo the first time, so it’s best to arm yourself with patience and start shooting till you get the desired result.
Put these helpful tips into practice and become a pro at taking pictures with your phone! Wifivox allows you to stay connected all over the world at all times so that you can share your works of art with your family, friends and social media profiles.
