Summer vibes in the Spanish heat!
The hottest day of the year did not stop this group of Global Navigators from arriving to Madrid ready and excited to begin exploring the Spanish capital! They have met their host families, attended orientation and have even explored one of the most famous parks in Spain, El Parque del Buen Retiro. El Retiro was built in the 1550's under the reign of Philip IV and is home to several famous sites such as the lake and the crystal palace. Our navigators are eager to continue learning about the Spanish culture, begin classes and start all of the wonderful cultural activites that are planned. ¡Ahora empieza la aventura!
