I am thinking of coming to Madrid for the month of July and I would like to take a class. I am thinking of a cooking class, a class on cinema, or art, or a class in Gallego, something inexpensive and that would be for one, two or three weeks. Any ideas? I looked at the Prado website and they do not have anything listed yet for July. I am not sure if they have classes in the summer months, does anyone know? Also looked at the cooking school (store) Alambique but they do not have any classes listed yet for the summer months. Does anyone know if they have classes then? Does anyone know where you can take classes in Gallego or cinema? Thanks for any ideas!!

Yeah! I hope you are there in July! I will be there for the whole month as well! If you find a class, I'd be interested in joining you! I'll search the web!

I was thinking that you might be interested!! Taking a class together would be so much fun! I am looking too, so let's see what we can find.

Cooking Club cooking school seem to have classes in the summer months that sound quite good! I was wondering if anyone knows anything about the school or the location C/ Veza, 33 bajo • Esquina C / Muller (metro: Valdeacederas Linea 1)

Any thoughts??

So, I have our tickets booked and will be in Madrid in July!!!
Esperanza and I are interested in taking a cooking course at this school. One class a week for 4 weeks. The course is Cocina Espanola.
Anyone want to join us? The more the merrier!

Your class sounds so fun! I looked at the site to see if there were any short one day classes in May, but no luck.

Have fun!

FYI: Alambique Cooking school has classes during the first week of July (July 5-9). I know that Alambique is a very good store/cooking school very near the Palace. This is an intensive class that meets one week in the evening (7:00-9:30 pm) ... I like that it is one week that I know I will be in Madrid. The other class, in the other cooking school is once a week. I think it might be hard to commit to it, even though it sounds very good. Lisa, What do you think? Anyone else interested???

Ouch, a little pricy! Looks interesting. Maybe there may be a one day class when their July schedule comes out.Let's keep trying.

If they'd let me wear a Speedo and flip-flops I may consider the course. hehehe... But it does look VERY VERY interesting, the Spanish Cooking course at CookingClub. I'd really be interested in that as well. Of course, all these courses are only offered in Spanish - so that'd be a different kind of test. But if I had some American Support at my side I might be more inclined.

okay, I think my trip is starting to take shape and I think that I can try to work out the schedule in such a way to be able to take the Cocina Española course with you, Lisa, and you MM! That would be so much fun! Anyone else want to join us? Let's seriously plan on it.
