The city of Madrid is just a short ride from the university. Madrid is not only the political capital of Spain, but is also burgeoning as the “economic capital” of the country.

Many Spanish firms are actively expanding their business to other European Union countries and are also becoming crucial players in Latin America , and most of these firms have their corporate headquarters in Madrid . Every year, Madrid hosts numerous business fairs and has become the first business destination in Spain.

The city is becoming increasingly international and multicultural, not only because of the international business links of Spanish companies, but also because in the last ten years Madrid has the main receptor of immigration within Spain.

Thus, with approximately 3.5 million inhabitants, the city of Madrid offers today an exciting combination of history and modernity, as well as an increasingly multicultural environment.
