The Exchange Partner Program
Do you like talking? Our linguistic exchange partner program with Spaniards provides our students with the opportunity to get closer to the «Spanish way of life» and to practice what is learned in class. TANDEM Partners is an effective and personal way of learning, while at the same time a means of making new friends.
Here's how it works: you and your partner meet to speak the language you are both learning, practising first the one and then the other.
Together you not only improve your linguistic knowledge, but also get to know many other aspects of each other's culture and way of life.
We also offer guided visits to:
El Escorial: San Lorenzo de El Escorial, which is in the Sierra de Guadarrama and only 50 km away from Madrid, offers the visitor a unique architectural heritage, a privileged natural enclave and a cultural proposal unrivalled in the region. It has the appropriate climate, the serenity and the facilities required for a pleasurable vacation. It is within such easy reach of Madrid that it has become a popular visiting place for «madrileños» as well as for national and international visitors attracted by the natural, cultural and architectural offer
Aranjuez: If you leave Madrid in a southerly direction, you will have to travel less than 50km to enjoy this beautiful city, a privilege which in bygone times was reserved for the chosen few. To reach it, we will have to cross the town of Pinto, with its tower where the Princess of Éboli was imprisoned.
Alcalá de Henares: History, religion and culture come together in this riverside city on the fertile plain of the river which lends it its name. Alcalá de Henares is the city of Cervantes, of the Archpriest of Hita and of Cardinal Cisneros. Alcalá de Henares was founded on the ancient Iberian settlements standing on the rich soils of the fertile plain of the Henares River. It was here that the ancient Complutum, founded by the Romans, emerged. Abundant archaeological remains, in the form of mosaics and hot baths, vouch for its ancient origins.
