Madrid is divided between the old and the new. The old part of town has the most beautiful architecture and offers the best tapas experience!

Coffee or Beer is usually more expensive at Plaza Mayor, but you can have a nice tapa with a beer at one of those classic bars with hams hanging off the roof for just 2 euro. Then walk through Puerta del Sol and make your way to the glorious Cibeles.

TESOL certification and some teaching experience are very important to qualify for the best jobs. A EU passport is a must. Wages are not the best, just like everywhere else in Europe, so it’s highly recommended to start your own small business and offer some private classes for 20 euro an hour. Children and executives are the best market for private lessons.
