Class Schedule
Classes take place between Monday and Friday:
Intensive course 8:30 - 14:30
Standard course 9:30 - 13:30 (or 17:00 - 21:00)
In the high season (in the summer months) our standard courses will always take place from 09:30 - 13:30 and 17:00 - 21:00. In this case, the cultural activities may take place in the morning, rather than in the afternoon. Your instructors will keep you informed of any changes to your course schedule.
You should bring a dictionary, notebooks and colored pens. It is useful to have 2 notebooks, one for new vocabulary, and one for the exercises in class. Textbooks and other teaching materials are provided, but it is advisable to have a good system of keeping your notes together.
Activities & Excursions
Every week there are planned excursions to different tourist attractions and cultural places of interest around the area. For each excursion there is a tour guide who gives a thorough explanation of the site and a presentation to the students.
Examples of typical cultural opportunities: visits to local galleries, museums, theatres, the Opera, Royal Palace, flamenco dancing, local soccer games (Real Madrid) or a night out in Madrid!
Join the locals to munch on tapas and postpone dinner until 11:00 p.m. Then follow the crowds to a wonderful play at Plaza Santa Ana, shake to the dance scene of La Latinaor or take in a show at Madrid's top flamenco clubs near Plaza Tirso de Molina. Madrid is a fascinating place to learn Spanish!
The large number of incredibly interesting museums in Madrid offer an endless variety of artistic and cultural treasures, which you will be sure to enjoy when here in Madrid.
Wandering through the throng at the city’s flea market El Rastro is an interesting way to experience some of the city’s essence and shouldn’t be missed.
At the weekend our school organizes excursions: Toledo, Sevilla, Segovia, Ávila, Aranjuez or Salamanca by train. Other favourites are watching Real Madrid play or taking a day to explore Museo del Prado.

Monasterio de san lorenzo de el escorial
The monastery lies just 50km (31 miles) northwest of Madrid, in the town of San Lorenzo de El Escorial. The extraordinary rectangular edifice with four spired towers was built by Philip II - as a memorial to his father, Charles V - and merges monastery, church and palace. It contains Philip's secret stash of El Greco and Hieronymus Bosch art, as well as a library with about 50,000 volumes and a vaulted, painted ceiling.
Toledo
Often described as the 'soul of Spain', Toledo lies 70km (43 miles) south of Madrid and is easily reached by bus, car or train. The capital of Visigoth Spain (AD567-711), Toledo was famously depicted in the dramatic cityscape by El Greco (painted in 1597 and currently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York). The Crete-born painter, Domenikos Theotocopoulos - whose Spanish appellation, El Greco, has stuck - settled in Toledo in 1577 and remained there until his death in 1614. Regarded as the first great genius of the Spanish School, some of his most famous paintings are jealously guarded here.
Sevilla
In the south of Spain lies Seville, the administrative centre of Andalucia. The city has been influenced by over 800 years of Moorish culture and retains a pleasant old-world charm. Seville has plenty to offer visitors including sightseeing of ancient sites, parks, museums and art galleries as well as many sporting activities.
Salamanca
Salamanca is a city visitors fall in love with, not only because of the incredible beauty of its extremely well-known monuments, but also because of its excellent atmosphere and wealth of gastronomic delights. There are a lot of well-established places to visit, such as Cervantes, in the plaza Mayor (main square), famous for their varied tortilla (omelette) snacks and palomas, ensaladilla-filled pork scratchings. Another place where you can try a good local wine, along with an oreja (ear) tapa, or blood sausage, or chanfaina, the local stew, is Cervecería del Comercio in Pozo Amarillo, a street famous for its restaurants including Dulcinea (Don Quijote´s love) and El Jamón.
Watch a Real madrid soccer game
Spain's most successful team, and with a record nine European Champions Cups, arguably Europe's--and perhaps the world's--most storied soccer club. Long success on the field, immense financial resources and a history of acquiring superstars makes Real Madrid a magnet for players and fans alike. The Santiago Bernabéu is the famous football stadium in Madrid.
