Here's what Silvia has to say about Madrid
Come study in Madrid! It is a city that truly never sleeps. Madrid has everything to offer a student interested
in living in and learning about a new culture. There are endless opportunities to visit museums, historical sites,
architecture, art exhibitions, trade fairs, restaurants, discos, pubs, and more in this vibrant city. Its central
location and excellent transportation connections make it the ideal spot to base yourself for travel to other parts
of Spain and Europe.
The academics offered in CEA’s Madrid program are superb, catering to every single level of experience. The University
Complutense has possibly the longest history of offering Spanish for foreigners, beginning in the early 1930’s. Their
enthusiastic professors are all experienced in helping foreigners both learn the language and the culture of Spain.
For the sports-minded, the Sierra mountain range is only 40 minutes form Madrid, offering skiing in the winter and beautiful
extensive hikes in the other seasons. And if you happen to be an avid skier and are thinking of passing a summer in Madrid,
then you’ll enjoy visiting Europe’s largest indoor ski/snowboard slope at the Xánadu Shopping Center.
For the night owls, “la marcha madrileña” will keep you entertained well into the wee hours while offering you the chance
to meet Spaniards your own age and practice the language as you discuss your interests.
Whatever your interests are, you will find that Madrid suits you, and you may never want to leave…just ask some of the CEA alumni that are still here!
