Personal recommendation
carlos III de madrid enjoys very good reputation in spain. erasmus student's are treated the same way as spanish students (no extra points in exams or easier exams). who entends to enjoy a very relaxed term should go for another university

Personal comments
I learnt spanish while working in spain. so I had an overall knowledge of everyday phrases. as I had not done any course and had not studied before in spain I did not have very business specific vocabulary. within the first three weeks one learns almost all the necessary vocabulary to follow courses and taking exams was not a problem.
