Activities

Learn Spanish where Madrid eats and paints.

Eureka offers two activities per week after classes to visit museums and places of interest. The route naturally suits Spanish practice: tapas tables, Old Madrid, Prado paintings and Reina Sofía modern art.

Starting point: A few metres from Puerta del Sol and the Royal Palace.

Poster route

Tapas, Velázquez, Guernica.

The artwork here is interpretive poster art, not museum reproductions. It points to the same Madrid art references Eureka names: Velázquez at the Prado and Guernica at the Reina Sofía.
