Accommodation Options in San Sebastian, Spain

For a successful stay you need friendly and comfortable accommodation and we do our best to ensure it. We carefully select and regularly visit each of them. In general, accommodation is located within 20 minutes' walk or by bus from the school.

We offer the following types of accommodation:

Apartment with Spanish people and kitchen facilities

Apartment with one or two Spanish people, who are studying or working. The students have their own bedroom and use of the kitchen, bathroom and living room.

This option allows you contact with Spanish people, whilst at the same time maintaining certain independence.

Host family with half board

You will be made to feel perfectly at home living with one of our families and this makes for a wonderful experience. We think is the most appropriate accommodation for young students and who want continuous contact with the Spanish people and culture. Half board includes breakfast and dinner.

Apartment with other TANDEM students and kitchen facilities

Fully equipped flats provide an average of 4 to 6 students with single or double bedrooms and shared use of the kitchen and bathroom. This is a good opportunity to live with a variety of people and share different cultures. Only during our summer Spanish courses!

Learning Spanish in San Sebastian: a great cultural experience

San Sebastian is a city that creates an impact on account of its beauty and lifestyle. It offers extraordinary landscapes in the city centre itself: the contrast between the Atlantic Sea and the Pyrenees.

Capital of the province of Gipuzkoa and the cultural and tourist centre of the Basque country, this city of 180.000 inhabitants seduces everyone because of its own atmosphere, due to its architecture, the university, the lively streets and its culture: a combination of modernity and tradition.

Beyond the concept of sun and sand, through the year the city offers a varied program of exhibitions, concerts, popular fiestas, sports and international events: San Sebastian's day in January, D-FOTO Fair, Dance in May, Jazz Festival in July, big week festival in August and the International Film Festival in September.

And a short distance away: surf in Biarritz and Mundaka, hiking in the Pyrenees, the Pilgrim's Route to Santiago, the wine cellars of Rioja and the avant-garde Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

San Sebastian is the Spanish Gastronomic Mecca with 3 three-star restaurants in the Michelin Guide but not only to enjoy in restaurants but also the bars are renowned for their "pintxos" - an original form of tapas-, accompanied by txakoli, a local white wine, and Rioja wines.
