I want to read it in English, though I'm doubting about the comments that it is a bit hard and I'm not an expert reading in English. Do you know if the translations by Alianza are good enough?

I couldn't tell you about the Alianza translation. I read this book in English - a long time ago, when I was in school (that's why we had these very helpful study notes). Daniel, your English seems excellent. I thought you read English language books directly in the original. Woolf can be tricky if you are not used to flow-of-consciousness, but "Mrs. Dalloway" is not really all that hard. "The Waves" is a lot thicker to get through.
