Learn Spanish in Madrid

Step inside the geographic and cultural center of Spain, the beating heart from which national highways and social, political, and artistic movements emerge. A cosmopolitan European capital, Madrid welcomes residents from all over the world yet manages to preserve a distinctly Spanish feel. Munching on calamari sandwiches in sunny Plaza Mayor, sharing tapas under the vaulted of cave-like basements in medieval La Latina, and gazing out over the steeples and city lights from a rooftop bar are all quintessential Madrid traditions you'll have to check off your list when you study Spanish here. Art lovers and architecture geeks will never want to leave: a city of contrasts, Madrid embraces the historic and the avant-garde, the glamor and the grunge, the international and the homegrown. From stunning cityscapes and award-winning green spaces to world-class art museums, top soccer teams, and a legendary nightlife, learn Spanish in Madrid, the city that has it all.
