Why Madrid?

what the Agents say..

"Madrid is known as a very cosmopolitan city, with a wide variety of places to visit and things to enjoy. There really is something for everyone, from the famous El Prado art gallery to the Bernabeu football stadium, beautiful parks, trendy bars and restaurants, and fashionable boutiques. Madrid is a very affordable city, despite the fact that it is the capital. Students are very impressed by the friendliness of the local people and their cosmopolitan outlook. They feel welcome in the city, and also comment on how safe they feel, even when they are out and about late at night."
Victoria Jones, Apple Languages, UK 

"Our clients who choose Madrid do so because they want to study in the capital of Spain. They want to live in a big city with lots of restaurants, clubs, culture, shopping, etc. Students enjoy visiting the museums, shopping, eating good food and going out at night. They like to eat tapas and drink sangria and good red wine. In general, they like the people and the fact that the Spanish people tend to be more talkative than the Swedes."
Sofia Henningsson, SI-Sprakresor, Sweden

"Madrid is a lovely city with lots to see and do. Our students always enjoy visiting the Museo del Prado, Museo de Reina Sofia and Parque del Buen Retiro. The local tapas bars are often a highlight for students, although there are also some trendy restaurants in Chueca square. Students generally find the people to be really helpful and friendly."
