How healthy is the famous Mediterranean diet really? And where can you stay fit in Madrid without breaking the bank? In this episode, I chat with personal trainer and nutrition coach Marietta Sandiland about navigating health and fitness in Spain's capital.

In it Marietta shares the surprising truth about changing dietary patterns in Spain, where to find the best fresh produce, and how Madrid's incredible green spaces—from Casa de Campo to Parque del Oeste—offer free opportunities to stay active. We also discuss strength training basics, why even 15 minutes twice a week can make a difference, and how to adapt your fitness routine to busy Madrid life.
