Setting Description:

CIS is located in the center of Madrid, a city unlike any other. It is the pure essence of Spanish culture, yet it is extremely international. There is this almost seamless fusion of profound history with the ultra-modern. It is evident in the architecture, the public transportation system, and even the people. There is something for everyone whether you like art, history, architecture, food, music, nightlife, the list goes on. At the same time Madrid feels more like a big neighborhood than a large city. You truly have to experience this city to believe it.
