The school is centrally located, and you will enjoy this Madrid down-town, fully air-conditioned building, served by 4 Metro lines.

Madrid
Take a pin and stick it in the centre of Spain, and you've pretty much got Madrid. Now stick that same pin in the centre of Madrid and you should have the Puerta del Sol, the point from which distances to all corners of the country are measured, and a reminder of the city's importance both past and present. Madrid stands for all that is Spain, be it culture, art, museums or shopping, but more than this it exudes an energy and flair quite unlike any other capital. The red brick of the Plaza Mayor, the clowns in El Retiro park, traffic at 4am, the flea market, cracked nutshells on the floor, turrón and Goya…Madrid is many things to many people, but maybe it's this very hotchpotch that puts such rhythm in Spain's heart.
