Description

Learn Spanish in the capital Madrid, enjoy your Spanish learning vacation in this city of museums and art galleries.

In the center of Spain, surrounded by the arid 'mesta', Madrid exudes all the bravado of a capital city. Everything you might want to see is close by, via a leisurely walk or quick subway or taxi ride. You will find the locals "Madrilenos" are gregarious!

A truly cosmopolitan city, this is a vibrant city with great nightlife with so much to see and do.

Located in the historical center, only steps from "the Portra Del Sol" and "Palacio Real". The is a very fashionable and affluent quarter, only 2 minutes from the Portra Del Sol and one minute from Palacio Real.

Public transport ("Sol" metro station and bus station) is only a few steps away! Because of the central location, all facilities are within walking distance, including boutiques, dept. stores, cafes, banks, bars, etc.

Located on the 6th floor (with elevator access) of a beautiful turn-of-the-century "Historical Listed" building, the school offers great views across the rooftops of the city, including the Opera hall.
