Furthermore, Madrid's legendary nightlife, known as la marcha, is unparalleled; with countless bars, clubs, and shows, the city pulsates with activity. The energy of Madrid is contagious: Spaniards cultivate and passionately defend an incredible zest for life, an affirmative philosophy known as el placer de visir, or the joy of living.

Madrid is not the only place of interest in Spain. Each region has its own traditional history, cultural identity, geographic charms, and unique nightlife. Andalucia is the spain of popular imagination: whitewashed villages house sun-drenched plazas, cobblestoned streets and riotous bullfights. Lapped by the Mediterranean Sea and filled with the extravagant architecture of Antonio Gaudi, Barcelona is undoubtedly Spain’s most stylish city.

Simply put, Spain is one of the most incredible places on earth. Its constantly modernizing infrastructure, majestic culture, rich gastronomy, booming nightlife, security and renowned hospitality....all this combines to make Spain an incomparable destination for your study abroad experience.
