From 9 to 29 hours of class a week, with the price of one week and of four weeks:

“School's price” is the official 2027 list price for a course starting in March 2027; “your price” is what the course costs on LanguageBookings with our discount. Registration and compulsory material are paid as the school charges them.

Group course plus private lessons

If you want individual attention without paying for a full private course, two Madrid schools combine 20 group lessons with 5 or 10 one-to-one lessons a week:

At Academia Contacto, adding 5 private lessons a week takes 4 weeks from €700 to €1,320, and 10 private lessons to €1,960; at EUREKA, from €750 to €1,470 with 5 private lessons.

Accommodation in Madrid: host family, shared flat or residence

Long-term Spanish courses in Madrid: 12 and 24 weeks

Your LanguageBookings price for 12 and 24 weeks, and what each week works out at:

EU citizens do not need a visa. Students from outside the EU usually need a student visa for a course of more than 90 days; the requirements (for example, a minimum number of hours a week) are set by the Spanish consulate in your country, so check its website before choosing the course. The school sends the enrolment letter once the booking is confirmed.

DELE and SIELE preparation, over-30s and over-50s

Among the Madrid schools with 2027 prices, Don Quijote runs exam preparation for the Instituto Cervantes' DELE and SIELE (the DELE course has fixed start dates; the exam fee is paid separately):

Don Quijote Madrid also has a “30+” intensive course for adults aged 30 and over (€1,245 for 4 weeks, against €1,045 for the standard course) and a Spanish for 50+ programme with activities (€540 for one week, €995 for two; 2027 starts: 3 May, 16 August, 15 November).

How to pay less

• If you live in Madrid or want free afternoons, Academia Contacto's Standard 10 costs €400 for 4 weeks (its 20-lesson course costs €700).
• A room in a shared flat costs much less than a family: EUREKA's cheapest shared flat costs €650 for 4 weeks, against €1,500 for a single room with half board in a Don Quijote host family.
• Book the whole stay at once: at EUREKA one week of the intensive course costs €210, but at 24 weeks it is €158.75 a week.
• Book with LanguageBookings: you get our discount on the course, you pay nothing upfront (only the deposit is authorised on your card and charged when the school confirms; you pay the rest to the school) and if you find the same course cheaper under the same conditions, we match the price.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Spanish course in Madrid cost?

Four weeks of intensive Spanish cost €700–€1,045 at the 2027 prices of the four schools on this page; with registration and a single room with a host family (half board), €1,809–€2,517.30.

Which is the cheapest intensive Spanish course in Madrid?

Of the schools with 2027 prices, Academia Contacto's Intensive 20 (€700 for 4 weeks), followed by EUREKA (€750). Both charge a registration fee on top.

Is a host family or a residence better?

A host family with half board is cheaper than a residence with half board in the Madrid price lists above, and you speak Spanish every day at home. A residence or a shared flat gives you more independence. Whatever you choose, the school arranges it and you pay it together with the course.

Do I have to pay the whole course when I book?

No. When you book, only the deposit, which is part of the course price, is authorised on your card. If the school accepts the booking, the deposit is charged and we send you the details to pay the rest directly to the school; if not, nothing is charged.

Are these prices final?

They are the schools' official 2027 prices as they were in our system on 17 October 2026. The school confirms the price when it accepts the booking; there may be summer supplements and optional extras (books, exams, transfers).
