Don't Capitalize Origins
In English, we capitalize 'Spanish' or 'Madrid-born.' In Spanish, words describing where someone is from (like madrileño) are written in lowercase unless they start a sentence.
Matching the Ending
Even though we are looking at the 'o' version, remember that if the thing you are describing is feminine, the 'o' changes to an 'a' (madrileña).
The Capitalization Trap
Mistake: “Un postre Madrileño.”
Correction: Un postre madrileño. Only names of cities are capitalized, not the adjectives derived from them.
