The American Club of Madrid’s original objective, when it began in 1952, was simply stated: to strengthen the bonds that unite the United States and Spain by engaging Americans and Spaniards through events and activities.Today, The American Club of Madrid (ACM) is the “go-to” organization for the International professional living in Madrid. To that end, our programming focuses on both business and social events and activities.
