Madrid

Madrid has been immortalised by many great artists throughout the centuries as a city with a dramatic atmosphere and an amazing quality of light. The country’s monarchs bestowed fantastic art collections on the city which now forms the basis of the world famous Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen museums. With its magnificent palaces, stunning architecture, famous art galleries and the maze of streets in the old city, Madrid is an ideal place for the study of art
and Spanish language and culture.
