Living in Madrid means enjoying the best of vibrant city life with a relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle. As Spain’s capital, Madrid offers world-class museums, buzzing neighbourhoods, and a rich cultural calendar—from flamenco and football to food festivals and open-air concerts. The city is known for its welcoming, multi-cultural atmosphere, efficient public transport, and endless tapas bars and terraces. With sunny weather most of the year and quick access to nearby mountains and historical towns, Madrid combines urban energy with natural escapes—making it an ideal base for both work and exploration. At the centre of Spain's world class high speed rail network, and with the airport 20 minutes from the centre, Madrid is an ideal base for exploring Spain and beyond.
International House Madrid, with our focus on teacher development and helping you widen your range of experience, is the ideal next step in your teaching career.
