Madrid has been the capital city of Spain since 1562 and has more than 3,000,000 inhabitants. It is a city oozing with a vibrance and energy unmatched by any other European capital.
The city is extremely compact and located in the centre of Spain. Because of this convenient location people can get to any part of the country in approximately 5 hours by car. Madrid is a city full of contrasts where the old "barrios" of La Latina and Malasaña mix their ancient character with the modern architecture of La Castellana and the Torre Picasso.
Madrid is an influential financial and political centre where important events take place every day. Madrid has been able to find a balance with the respect and conservation of its old traditions and the demands of modern times. It is one of the leading European cities in terms of green areas, such as the Parque del Retiro and the Parque del Oeste.
All year long Madrid offers a great variety of events such as exhibitions, football matches, concerts, opera, "zarzuela", theatre, cinema, bullfights etc. The nightlife is unmatched by other European cities and is very crowded with people of all ages having good times in restaurants, clubs, discos and bars. A city of Spanish migrants and a large number of foreign residents, cultural diversity and good fun are all guaranteed in Madrid.

Our school in Madrid is located right next to ‘Puerta del Sol’ and in the city’s historical center. Famous sights, such as ‘Palacio Real’ and ‘Plaza Mayor’ are by foot just a few minutes away from school.
All classrooms are air-conditioned, fully-equipped and have a nice working environment. If you need a break from studying, just have a seat in one of the common areas and get something to eat and to drink out of the vending machines or watch a movie in the video room, which provides you with a collection of DVD’s.
If you would like to work with your own laptop and sit down in one of the self-study areas, you are more than welcome to do so, since our school offers you a free WiFi internet access or you can take advantage of the PC-room to check your emails or to study a little bit.
