Spanish Courses in Madrid

A wealth of cultural activities, historical sights, entertainment and beauty make taking Spanish courses in Madrid a wonderful way to learn a second language. The capital city of Spain is immense, with over three million people calling Madrid home; there is something for everyone in this magnificent part of Spain.

Many of the Spanish courses in Madrid include day trips to various parts of the city and surrounding areas as a way to immerse students in the culture. Some of the sights usually included on the trips are the Palacio de Cristal, the Parque del Buen Retiro, the Plaza Mayor and the Palacio Real, or Royal Palace. The Plaza Mayor is the main square, and is home to art museums, galleries, exclusive shops and boutiques as well as restaurants and cafes.

The Prado Museum can be found just outside the Botanical Gardens and both are excellent to spend a quiet afternoon or evening strolling through and looking at the various displays. The Botanical Gardens are world-famous and have over 30,000 types of trees and plants on display from around the world. Located beside the Manzanares River, the Casa de Campo park is a lush area to spend the day. The park contains a zoo, a large man-made lake and an amusement park. Those taking Spanish courses in Madrid often enjoy a break from studies with a trip to the Casa de Campo park.

While you're attending your Spanish courses in Madrid, you'll have to get used to a different timetable - the custom is to eat much later than in many Western countries. Many of the finer restaurants, and there are literally thousands in Madrid, do not open for evening meals until eight or nine o’clock at night. Entertainment, including dancing, nightclubs, theatre, opera or even cinema performances, does not start until later than that. Most people in Madrid stop in at one of the wonderful tapas bars after work for a quick snack before the evening meal. The cultural aspects of this city make it one of the most exciting to visit in Europe. Once you've visited Madrid, you'll want to return again and again.
