Practise Spanish in Madrid.
One of the best ways to practise and improve your Spanish is by immersing yourself in a Spanish-speaking city.
El Patio offers a cultural immersion programme which aims to strengthen students' confidence in using the language. As such, classes will focus on everyday Spanish and we'll ensure a range of approaches and activities that encourage interactions between students and native speakers. What's more, we'll organise unique, outside-the-classroom activities that'll see students tackling common everyday situations all while soaking up the local highlights.
Discover Madrid.
Madrid, cheerful and vibrant any time of the day and night, is famous for being an open and welcoming city for people from all over the world.
Beyond its famous museums, busy streets dotted with all kinds of shops, restaurants showcasing the best of world cuisine and an unbeatable nightlife, Madrid will also surprise you with historic spots that charm all passers-by. Here you'll find traditional, family-run, century-old bars where friends meet up for drinks, and myriad neighbourhoods and cultural hot-spots that offer up an alternative type of tourism. Madrid's authenticity is had to beat. It is welcoming and diverse. Madrid is - without a doubt - one of Europe's most interesting cities.
