Erasmus Vibes in Madrid: Eat, Party, Repeat!
Oh, the Erasmus experience in Madrid—where to start? We, at Madrid Crawling, have seen hundreds of students coming into this city with wide eyes, ready to plunge into everything that Madrid has to offer. And let me just tell you: there is no better place to live, experience your Erasmus adventure, than in the heart of the capital of Spain.
Madrid is not a city—it’s a way of life. Therefore, when you are an exchange student in Madrid, you are simply a part of the community where experiencing new life and meeting new people from different parts of the world is everything, not forgetting enjoying life to the fullest. Whether you are going to spend one semester or the whole year in Madrid, our team will help you arrange all the steps to make your stay in this wonderful city one long holiday from the unforgettable life.
Finding Your Place in Madrid
If there is one thing you will soon realize immediately after touching down in Madrid, it is the community. Already from the outside, the city shows a warm and welcoming attitude that will surely set you at ease. At Madrid Crawling, we love helping new arrivals find their footing—be it recommending the best places to live or our favorite spots for grabbing a quick bite.
Some of the favorite picks among Erasmus students would be Lavapiés, Malasaña, and La Latina, each with a different air to it. Whether you are a fan of bohemian cafes, noisy street markets, or nightlife shelters, you are more than likely to find a neighborhood that can reflect both your soul and your callings. And don’t worry, with so much going on, Madrid has a way of making everyone feel like they belong.
Making Friends and Memories
More than anything else, Erasmus is about meeting new people, and Madrid is the perfect city. With so many students coming in from around the world, you’ll never run out of new friends to explore with. And what can be the better way of making your bond stronger with exchange students other than joining hands with one of the most epic pub crawls with Madrid Crawling?
That’s because our team knows all the best spots in town to meet up, grab a drink, and dance the night away. We’ve been hosting these for years and seen many friendships, and more than a couple of romances, begin on one of our crawls. A chilled-out night or a full-on animal party—our pub crawls give you the best opportunity to mix with others and form friendships that only end when you can’t lift your martini glass anymore.
Living Madrid outside the classroom
Your Erasmus experience is way more than a school routine (although we know that you are studying hard too!). Madrid is a city full of life. There is so much to do and to see out of the school. From the austere streets in the center and downtown to lazy afternoons in the Retiro Park, you’ll never be short of something to do.
And, of course, the food! But living in Madrid, one of the best things, is that it affords you the ability to become intricately involved with local cuisines. From that quick bocadillo de calamares not far from Plaza Mayor to that indulgence in churros and chocolate at San Ginés, it will be heaven on your taste buds. We’re always ready to share our favorite foodie places at Madrid Crawling, so just ask away!
Get the Best Out of Your Erasmus Experience
Your time in Madrid will literally fly by, so quickly you won’t even believe it. Use every single opportunity in this city: its wonderful museums, its exciting nightlife, astonishingly beautiful parks.
