Learn Spanish in Madrid!

Madrid is a city of culture!

Few cities have an artistic pedigree as pure as that of Madrid: many art lovers come back again and again. For centuries, Spanish royalty has praised and enriched the best artists of the moment, from local talents such as Goya and Velázquez to the great Flemish and Italian names. The masterpieces of these painters, and other Spanish painters such as Picasso, Dalí and Miró, now adorn the walls of the city's world-class galleries, including the three giants; the Museo del Prado, the Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza.

No doubt Madrid appears not to have the stamp of Paris, the monumental history of Rome, or the reputation of Barcelona for modernist masterpieces, and no, there is no equivalent of the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum or the Sagrada Família that unmistakably symbolises the city, but Madrid has nothing and no one to envy. The architectural history of Spain offers a splendid backdrop to city life, medieval mansions and royal palaces with the abracadabrantesque angles of contemporary Spanish architecture, from the simple and slate bricks of Madrilenian baroque to the extravagant flourishes of the beautiful time. In short, Madrid is a pretty city, classic but not cliché!

Alive, day and night, Madrid vibrates, full of life in each and every neighborhood,all  musical and colorful. The city's gastronomy will delight foodies from across the globe as the city has fully embraced all the creativity and innovation of the Spanish gastronomic revolution, but this acceptance of the new is linked to a passion for the sustainable traditions of Spanish cuisine, for the conviviality of the culinary experience and for the presentation of the infinite variety of food of each Spanish region. From tapas; to fine bars; to everything new; to dining under century-old vaulted ceilings, dining in Madrid is an absolute pleasure.

Learning Spanish in Madrid is to enjoy a pleasant and dynamic experience, full of life and beauty.
