Accommodation
Host Family
Being immersed in the culture of a country is without doubt one of the best ways to learn the language. Living with a Spanish family is an enriching experience, which will give you the chance to get to know the way of life of the locals, their customs and cuisine. It’s also an opportunity to practise your Spanish daily in an authentic context. Host families are chosen with care and know the school well. Located about 15-30 minutes from the school, you will have your own room and breakfast and dinner provided daily.
Shared Apartments
If you would like to meet and live with other students from the school or with locals, choose the "shared apartment" option. Here, you will have your own room with a desk for studying and share the common areas (lounge room, kitchen, bathrooms, washing machine) and daily life with your flatmates.

Leisure
Few cities offer as many possibilities for filling your free time as San Sebastian: beautiful scenery, beaches ideal for sun baking, waves perfect for surfing, mountains for hiking or skiing during winter, and musical and cinematic events (jazz festival, movie festival, fortnightly music concerts). You will also find a large range of sporting activities (surfing, canoeing, sailing, swimming, paragliding etc) and numerous options for excursions in the region (Bilbao, Pampelune, Biarriz or San Jean de Luz). Get together with your friends to enjoy regional dishes such as Pintxos, banderillas, tapas and cashuelitas, with a glass of cidre or Txakoli – so many Basque flavours to better discover the festive and welcoming nightlife of San Sebastian.
