I gained and learned an unimaginable amount of knowledge that will guide me through life and change my perspective on the world forever. I wouldnt change this experience or take it away in the slightest. I am so grateful I have been able to go on this journey and become a completely different person because of it.

Come explore Madrid, the contemporary capital of Spanish culture, finance, and industry. A large, international and cosmopolitan city, Madrid is a city of possibilities. You won't get board with Madrid's incredible monuments and museums, including the Museo del Prado, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and the Museo de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. Visitors cannot miss the Iglesia de San Isidro, once the cathedral of Madrid, or the Palacio Real. Madrid is also known for its fountains and elaborate parks, including the glorious Parque del Retiro. The energy of Madrid is in its street life and warm people.
