LOCATION
Madrid is Spain's capital and largest city, with almost 4 million inhabitants. Spain's capital offers some of the best museums in the world, the craziest nightlife in Europe and various distinct, hip neighbourhoods, each with its own special character and something different to offer.
Even though Madrid is a huge urban metropolis, it has a high ratio of green to concrete, with enormous parks such as the "Retiro," "Parque del Oeste" and "Casa del Campo." Join the raucous Sunday afternoon drums circles at the Retiro, or visit the close by Prado museum, which holds the most important works of El Greco, Velazquez, Goya and much more. Art enthusiasts will drool as well over the collections at the modern art museum, the Reina Sofia, home to a plethora of works by Picasso, Dalí and Miró.
Madrid is conveniently located in the center of the peninsula, with ski slopes an hour away and any Spanish destination at no more than a 6-hour ride. It's a great jump-off point for travelling, but you might not want to leave when you start attending football games, concerts, the theatre, bullfights, and take to the streets drinking on terraces and partying 'til the sun comes up. Come learn Spanish in Madrid and join in the fun... you'll consider yourself a true "madrileño" in no time. Enjoy our Spanish school in Madrid!
