Learn Spanish in San Sebastian
San Sebastian
The northern coast of Spain is a wonderful location in which to learn Spanish, being unspoilt by mass tourism. Our school in San Sebastián specialises in Spanish courses for foreign students. The Spanish language courses run at all levels and attract students from all over the world. Studying Spanish in San Sebastián, students are able to discover the wonderful beaches of the area, explore the Pyrenee Mountains, and enjoy the incredible lifestyle of this undiscovered part of Spain.
San Sebastián (pop. 170,000) lies on a beautiful sandy bay on the North coast of Spain. The city itself is stunningly beautiful, with a fascinating historic centre, full of narrow streets, restaurants and bars. As the climate is not as hot as the Mediterranean coasts of Spain, San Sebastián has been saved from over-development by tourism. This is an ideal base from which to explore the nearby Pyrenee Mountains, as well as the spectacular, largely undiscovered scenery of Spain's northern coast.

Our school has 15 classrooms, a library/common room, Internet cafe, cafeteria and large terrace.
