The 10 best things Spanish students can do in Madrid

The city of Madrid is a place that offers different activities for students staying in it to undertake a course in a Spanish school. Here we give you some advice:

• • To go for a walk in the El Retiro park, one of the most significant places in the city and an ideal place to spend some time with the classmates from the Spanish school. Also, do not forget to rent a rowing boat and row for a while on the park’s pond.
• • To walk down the Gran Vía in Madrid, admiring its incredible buildings, such as the Metrópolis, the Madrid París, the Cinemas Callao and the Torre de Madrid.
