Madrid is an elegant city, celebrated for its wide, spacious avenues and beautiful parks,  its gourmet restaurants and world-famous museums.  The city's atmosphere is fun-loving and vibrant, largely a result of the laid back attitude of its inhabitants.  Exciting, surprising, exhilarating Madrid enjoys a blend of the traditional and the contempory, preserving the refinement and splendour of the past whilst still embracing the pace and dynamism of modern life.

Shoping in Madrid is a relaxing and leisurely experience when taken at Madrileno pace, with many shops open until late in the evening.  Discover the delights of the designer boutiques with their sparkling window displays and mingle with Madrid's glamourous glitterati on the Calle Serrano, or explore the curious flea markets of the Rastro for an antique bargin.

The formal gardens of the Parque del Retiro offer an oasis of sophisticated calm amid the heat and activity of the city.  The green spaces, fountains and wide gravel paths are a favourite spot for both locals and visitors in any season of the year.  The Museo del Prado, one of the world's greatest art galleries, can be found close by.

Oise Madrid is located in the business district of the city and is easily accessible by all forms of public transport.  The school has an extremely friendly and dynamic team and its teachers are renowned for their energy and enthusiasm.
