Language
While most classes are taught in English at Suffolk's Madrid campus, Spanish is predominantly spoken throughout the country, along with the distinct languages and dialects of Galicia in the north, the Basque country, and Cataluña.
Culture
Like other Mediterranean cultures, Spaniards favor pubs and restaurants, theaters and cafeterias, cafes and city squares as part of their custom of “living in public.” This gives students at Suffolk Madrid the opportunity to interact with local people and increase their understanding of the culture.
Geography
The breathtaking terrain is yet another reason why Spain is an ideal country to travel abroad. Among the many things to do in Spain are exploring the extensive coastline of the world-famous Mediterranean beaches of Alicante, Valencia, and Málaga; and discovering the rugged cliffs and rocky beaches of Galicia, Asturias, and the Basque Country on the Atlantic side.
