In the middle of an architecturally well preserved framework there has grown in a relatively small time an audaciously artistic and futurist city. Here one can observe a huge contrast between the traditions of the past and the dynamic changes of modern civilisation. Madrid is a happening city that is continuously changing, having transformed itself in every way into a major international community.

The women featured in the films of Pedro Almodovar or in theatrical plays coexist alongside those clinging to past traditional conventions.

Madrid really is a city that is alive and kicking!

The impressionist architecture of the 18th, 19th and 20th Centuries, the tranquil streets where madrileños always enjoy the pleasures of life.

In Madrid, one can see inumerable examples of Spanish cultural life in museums, palaces, churches, theatres, plazas…But one mustn't forget the solemnity of the city: one shouldn't miss the large open air market on Sunday mornings, "El Rastro", here one can feel the pulse of the city and its inhabitants.

Only in Madrid can one move between the past and the future with such ease. The capital of Spain is the capital of the world of restaurants, bars, shops and discoteques.

The main place in the city where one can strike up a friendship with the arts, culture and Spanish language is in the new school, Madrid PLUS.

Our teachers will propose trips to a spectacular flamenco show, to the theatre of Fura del Baus, to see a new exhibition of experimental photography, to a fashionable bar, the cinema, IMAX (one of the most modern cinema experiences in the world), the Zoo, the Parque de Atracciones or the Planetario and help you get a feeling of "Madrid my forest" as said by the madrileños.
