Located in the very centre of Spain, Madrid is also an ideal base from which to explore the rest of the country, with cities such as Avila, Salamanca, Toledo, Zamora, just a couple of hours drive away.

Because of it's height above sea level (over 600 metres) and inland location, Madrid has the ideal Spanish study climate. Madrid enjoys predominantly dry and sunny weather, chilly in winter (but sunny!) and hot in high summer.

The dry climate means the hottest summer days do not feel so hot, making Madrid a comfortable place to learn Spanish and immerse yourself in the culture of Spain today.
