Since its early days, people have come from all regions of Spain to settle in Madrid, thereby enriching the city with their own cultural traditions. However it was especially in the 20th century that the Spanish capital attracted people from all over the world, converting itself into an international metropolis where no one feels a stranger. Artists, writers and fashion designers have taken up residence in Madrid after finding here the inspiration necessary to their creative work.

The wide variety of cultural venues - from concert halls and opera houses to theatres and museums of world esteem - as well as the architectural splendour of past centuries ensure that tourists from all over the world keep returning to Madrid not only to explore new places but also to revisit their favourite haunts. Its large, well-kept parks, in which the Madrid inhabitant takes a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and its sunny squares with Mediterranean charm are welcome places to stroll and relax body and soul.
Madrid is world-famous for its old cafés, cosy tapas bars and restaurants brimming over with life day and night. Visit the small, traditional shops which have preserved the atmosphere of bygone days with their nostalgic interiors!
A visit to Madrid is a must for any traveller who wishes to meet authentic Spanish culture and experience the zest for life of the Spanish people.

Madrid... exactly the right city in which to learn Spanish.
