Description

During a typical Madrid summer, throngs of madrilenos flock to the streets of the city where they sip coffee on terrazas, sample tapas at the city's bars, or simply stroll and watch the parade of fashionable Spaniards. Every Sunday in the summer, the Plaza de las Ventas, Spain's largest stadium for corridas de toros (bull fights), features the country's leading toreros (bull fighters).The seat of Spain's government, Madrid is also a cultural center and home to many famous museums, including the Prado and the Reina Sofia, where Picasso's Guernica resides.

Over the course of the summer, you will come to know its vibrant plazas and winding streets for yourself. IES Abroad's Madrid Summer Program offers enrollment in IES Abroad courses, housing in student apartments as well as in homestays with local families, extracurricular activities, and field trips; you will have the opportunity to meet Spanish and international students alike.
