I'm still not sure of the region proper. Valencia, Madrid hold greater appeal. I'm going to be in Toledo when I arrive, for at least all of January since I have a booked guest house there, so my search may have me hovering around that little town, but I'll try to make every-day trips to Madrid. A friend of mine who works as a lawyer in Madrid offered me a job interview but his tone was NOT very promising.

For the record I'm a little terrified right now.
