Learn Spanish in San Sebastian

The beautiful city of San Sebastián (pop. 178,000) lies on the largely undiscovered and unspoilt northern coast of Spain.

Magnificent beaches at San Sebastian

Visitors are immediately impressed by the elegance of its buildings, the kilometres of sandy beaches, and above all the friendly nature of the locals. San Sebastián is also an ideal base from which to explore this part of Spain, the magnificent coastline, soaring mountains and cities such as Pamplona.

Cultural program

Students learning to surf in San Sebastian

Our school in San Sebastian not only offers high quality Spanish language courses, but also provides an extensive cultural programme, consisting of visits to places of interest within San Sebastian, Spanish film evenings in the school, parties, 'international evenings' in the school and occasional evenings out with the Spanish tutors. There are also optional full-day excursions to Pamplona, Vitoria, the mountains, as well as to fishing villages along this beautiful northern coast of Spain.

This cultural program helps students to practise out of class the Spanish language that they have learnt on their Spanish courses at the school, so that they learn as much Spanish as possible in the time available to them. The activities and excursions also ensure that students not only enjoy their time in Spain and learn to speak the Spanish language, but also come to a deeper understanding of the Spanish people and the Spanish way of life.
