During this excursion we will see those cultures reflected in some of the unique squares and streets of Madrid we are going to walk through. We will see the monuments representing the city like the rests of the Arabic wall, the Casa de la Villa and the Palacio Real. Ready for discoveries?

LUNCH WITH THE TEACHERS

Every Thursday, the students have the opportunity to eat with the teachers of =elemadrid= and continue practicing Spanish. This week we go to a typical Madrilenian tavern very close to the school. You can check the menu of the day at school!

Madrid, besides having its own traditional dishes, is a city where you can easily find the great variety (do not only reduce it to the Valencian Paella and the Andalucian Gazpacho!) of the Spanish cuisine.

A MOVIE IN SPANISH: EL HIJO DE LA NOVIA

In =elemadrid=, you have the opportunity to discuss and analyse the great films of the Spanish and Latin American cinemas.

This week we will see El hijo de la novia, an Argentinian tragicomedy of 2001 that combines laughter and emotions and that was a great success in Argentina and Spain.
