School Spanish Language Study Trip to Madrid

Halsbury Sticker

Incredible art. Important literature. Impressive palaces.

Spain’s sumptuous capital is full of inspiration just waiting to be discovered by your students. This is the cultural heart of the Spanish-speaking world and the perfect place to fall in love with the language.

The city that was home to Cervantes was so influential in Spanish literary history that an entire area of the city (Barrio de las Letras) is named for it. It’s still home to the Royal Spanish Academy (the institution tasked with protecting Spanish) and the Istituto Cervantes (created to teach and promote Spanish).

A Language Study Trip to Madrid will combine focused Spanish lessons at a specialist language school, as well as a cultural activities programme designed to get your linguists talking.

You’ll be able to visit the unbelievably good art museums that make up the Golden Triangle of Art. Take a moment to soak up the atmosphere in the stunning Buen Retiro park. And, of course, graze your way through delicious tapas representative of every corner of the country. ¡Vamos!
