It´s cold and this isn´t even the beginning of Madrid´s winter. There have only been a few days where I couldn´t feel my toes, so I´m guessing that is what I should expect in Dec, Jan, and Feb. Let me give you an idea...
I go walking to school about 20 minutes. In the morning it is really cold (dry air). I leave the house wearing:
Bottom: Jeans, long knee high socks or double up on the socks, and shoes
Top: tanktop, sweater --or--- tanktop, short sleeved shirt, blazer of some sort
Outerwear: Jacket, gloves, and if I´m really cold, i put on my beanie and scarf
Underwear: not for you to know.
I usually time my walk so that I will get to school 5 minutes before class starts. Sometimes my timing is off and I really have to walk fast. Either way, I get to school sweating but with a freezing cold face. Once you get into the classroom, you are reminded that central heating exists and you take off all outerwear. Then 5 mins later you realize you are cold. Then after 30 minutes, the simple fact that we are 54 people in one classroom = heat!!! So it´s a constant battle. But no matter what, you know that your walk home will be nice and chilly.
