Do you want to take a stroll through the Retiro Park and then drop by the Prado Museum? Or do you prefer having some “tapas” in the Plaza Mayor and then losing yourself in the narrow alleyways of the “Madrid of the Austrians”?

The ancient “Magerit”, founded by Arabs in the 8th Century, became the capital of Spain in the 16th century and is now, at the beginning of the 21st century, a cheerful, attractive and hospitable city. Its excellent cultural calendar, its great culinary diversity, which can be sampled at its multiple restaurants and taverns, its good climate, which encourages contemplating the bustling city life from one of its pleasant sidewalk cafes, and its lively nightlife makes Madrid a stupendous place to take Spanish classes.
