Retiro park
Our Spanish school in Madrid is in the middle of three important parks. To the south we have Retiro Park. In Madrid it's true that car-sharing services are a popular mode of transport, and by using it you can stay in Retiro Park in ten minutes. You can use public transport too, and you’ll be there in only 20 minutes. Our Spanish school is very well located!
Inside Retiro Park you will find many different things to do - from sports and boats to nature – and there is also a variety of lessons that you could undertake (such as skateboarding, yoga, painting ,…). The majority of ‘madrileños’ visit this place once a week. Next to this park you can find shops and bars. You are well and truly in Madrid´s corazón!
Sabatini Gardens and Real Palace
To the west you´ll discover a secret little park. At the same distance, you have Sabatini Gardens (Jardines de Sabatini). It is next to the right of the Real Palace (which is a must visit), and you have to go down some stairs. And that’s all! You are in the most beautiful garden, perfect for walking and… for a romantic date too! A magical site, not to be missed!
Parque del Oeste: even closer to our Spanish School
Even closer from our Spanish school, you can visit Parque del Oeste. Moreover, next to it, you should visit Templo de Debod. Another magical place which has a very interesting background. Originally an Egyptian tomb, it was a gift from Egypt to Spain sixty years ago. It has an antiquity of about 2200 years.
It would be a sin not to visit this Egyptian historical monument in Madrid . Behind it, you will enjoy the most amazing sunset in the city. Another hidden gem of the city. With this hidden places, you’ll enjoy Madrid like a local.
