LANGUAGE TOURISM A language that awakens passions, a place to come back to

Hemingway learned Spanish by living it first-hand. Here he was passionately involved in it, tasted and loved it. Where else in the world will you be able to live and feel it like this? We feel that here we learn it, here where we have the institutions that best look after the language–the Royal Academy of the Spanish Language; those that best certify it—the Cervantes Institute; and those that teach it most and best— our universities, schools and language centres. Learning Spanish in the Madrid Region means to take in the multiplicity of Spanish-speaking cultures in a small region where everything is to hand: the pace of the great city, the peace of rural life, forests, plains, rivers, museums, ter- races, traditions and avant-garde. We feel that we learn it through new friends, practicing in the capital’s endless availability of leisure, culture and sporting choices, the important herit- age quality of its towns and villages, its traditional and cutting-edge cuisine. We feel that we understand it when we observe its exceptional natural, in- dustrial and innovative environment. We feel that we master it when we shop in its stores, use its infrastruc¬- tures, when we are looked after by its superb professionals, fit-outs and services. We feel that we have been enriched by thinking in Spanish, by having enjoyed Madrid’s charms, the jewels of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Alcalá de Henares or Aranjuez, the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, the routes around our nat- ural parks, the country’s exhaustive cuisine, its terraces, squares and fountains, the tremendous quality of choice in the teaching of Spanish… and above all, be- cause we perceive the mark this experience leaves on us. As well as learning, practicing and enjoying culture in Spanish, in Madrid you will feel that you need to come back… to feel in Spanish.
