CIEE HS Summer Abroad: Spanish Language & Culture in Madrid

Perfect your Spanish skills in Spain’s sun-soaked, stunning capital. Four weeks in Madrid, the vibrant capital of Spain, will add a whole new dimension to your Spanish. Outside of language classes, engage in conversations with locals as you explore artsy, avant-garde neighborhoods, like Malasaña and El Barrio de las Letras, and learn about the artistic heritage of Spain. At the Reina Sofía Art Museum, marvel at world-renowned masterpieces, such as Picasso's Guernica and Dalí’s Figure at the Window. Beat the heat as you relax in green spaces around the city, like Madrid’s Río park, an urban oasis along the Manzanares River transformed from an eight-lane highway. Experience the Spanish way of life at your homestay and watch your Spanish soar during meals and heated fútbol debates. Weekend excursions take you to picturesque Segovia, with its ancient Roman aqueduct and Alcázar castle, and to the seaside city of Valencia, where you’ll swim and play beach volleyball along the Mediterranean Sea. In and out of Madrid, you’ll soak up culture all around you, taste tantalizing tapas, and go where madrileños go.

Three Weeks That Changed Me

Program: The Experiment: Spain: Spanish Language & Culture

Last summer, I spent three weeks in Spain, and it honestly changed the way I see things. Being in a totally new place pushed me out of my comfort zone in a good way. I had to figure things out on my own, try new foods, get used to the language, and adjust to a completely different lifestyle. What I loved most was how social and laid-back everything felt. The people there really take time to enjoy life, food, and each other. I met so many kind people and learned a lot just by being present and open. That experience helped me grow more confident, independent, and open-minded. It wasn’t just a trip for me. It was a moment that helped shape who I am now. Hopefully I can go back!
