Vintage Visit and Row Boating in Madrid!

Today was our first day of the school week at the CIEE Center in the lovely and colorful city of Madrid! We commuted on the Metro from our accommodations into Sol, the city center, to meet Mickaël, our instructor, for a lecture at CIEE. Then, we headed out to Madrid’s Vintage District for our hands-on co-curricular activity.  Our stylish fashion students scoured the racks of approximately a dozen vintage stores and made note of their observations about this on trend and sustainable way to shop.

After lunch, the students met at El Retiro Park, a gorgeous oasis in the middle of Madrid, and had the option to take a row boat out onto the picturesque pond to take in the scenery.
