The Spanish classes in the Club 50+ course are completely focused on the needs and interests of our students, with emphasis firmly placed on communication skills. During the classes, students are taught practical conversational skills. Skills that can be used in everyday situations. This way, you will definitely learn how to express yourself in Spanish! The topics covered by our qualified teachers get everyone talking, and make the lessons much more enjoyable, productive and interesting. The Spanish classes take place during the mornings, between 09.30 am and 13.20 pm, from Monday to Friday.

Whenever you are a beginner or already have some basic Spanish knowledge, we will offer you the right course.

Madrid is surrounded by different interesting cities. Would you like to see some other parts of Spain? Please consult AIL Madrid's team and we would be more than happy to help you arrange your travel to a different city. Previous students have visited the following cities with pleasure:

	Toledo   Toledo, with a history dating back over more than 2000 years, is a true melting pot of Jewish, Islamic and Christian    cultures. Toledo is the previous Spanish capital city that demonstrates the rich history of Spain. This medieval city is absolutely a must-see for art lovers.
	San Lorenzo de El Escorial and El Valle de los Caídos The main attraction of El Escorial is the huge monastery built by order of King Phillip II.  Many past monarchs are buried here.  El Valle de Los Caídos is the burial site of the Spanish Dictator, Franco. The site, an unusual structure, was carved into the mountain side by political prisoners during the fascist regime of the last century.
	Ávila Located to the West of Madrid, the city's main feature is its extensiv 1.5 mile wall, which surrounds the stunning Cathedral within. Outside the walls is the Basilica de San Vicente, almost as large as the cathedral itself, which is the supposed burial site of Saint Vincent and his sisters.
	Segovia Segovia, located to the North West of Madrid, is definitely worth a visit. The Aqueduct of Segovia is the most recognized, impressive and famous symbol of this capital city of 'Castilla y Leon'. It was built at the end of the 1st century by the Romans and it is still an attractive monument by several visitors.
