Program Highlights
Row a boat at Retiro Park or bike along the Manzanares River where madrileños find tranquility from the bustle of the city.
Name that tune while learning to play the “cajón”, a box-shaped percussion instrument, that found its way from Africa to Perú to Spain.
Waltz and count your steps as you practice dancing sevillanas, a traditional flamenco folk dance. Challenge your coordination with castanets!
In Valencia, taste traditional paella at a restaurant surrounded by rice fields and hop on a boat to tour L’Albufera Lake.
Each day offers a balance between interactive instruction and cultural activities with time on your own, too.

Linguistic and culture growth
September 27, 2024by: Zoey L.Program: CIEE HS Summer Abroad: Spanish Language & Culture in Madrid
I would be likely to recommend the program to a friend or peer because it has broadened my horizons linguistically and culturally. There are great opportunities for scholarships and classes for the right levels. However, I would argue that there should be more variation in levels, such as adding more options for those in between two different levels.
Get to know other ways of life
September 26, 2024by: David R.Program: CIEE HS Summer Abroad: Spanish Language & Culture in Madrid
I would recommend it because I think learning a language is extremely important and the best way to do that is to be immersed. Also I think learning about other cultures in incredibly valuable because it opens your mind to other ways of life. I loved going to Valladoild and seeing Chichen Itza y los cenotes!
