Spain Teenager Study Abroad
Madrid Summer Camp
From its dazzling beaches to its ancient castles, Spain is a country as diverse as the cultures which have influenced its art, architecture, music and lifestyle. It is a land where cathedrals and castles are interspersed with skyscrapers, where modern rock mixes with flamenco guitar, and night clubs compete with cozy "tapas" bars. Spain offers some of the world's most famous museums, resorts, and festivals, making it a unique and enchanting destination.
The famed capital of Spain is a cosmopolitan city of unequaled culture and nightlife. With everything from world-famous museums to high fashion shopping, you will never run out of things to do in Madrid. Conveniently located just 5 hours by train or bus to any other city in Spain, its central location makes it an ideal home base for language travelers.
