Housing
Type of housing: Room in an apartment
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment together with Erasmus students
Why?
This particular house was not isolated well (too noisy) and living together with other Erasmus students would be better with respect to same interests and objectives.

In the beginning it is hard to follow the classes in Spanish, because it is only listening, there was almost no interaction between the teacher and students but after a while you get used to it.

Final comments
Travel tips: It is very easy to get anywhere in Spain and you should do that. It is realy a beautiful country with many different things to do. You can ski for one day in the Pirineos and the other day ly on the beach of San Sebastian.
Do not hesitate to visit the countryside with the cheaper prices, more friendlier people and overwhelming tapas! Personal favour spots: Barcelona, Cadiz, Valencia, Sevilla en little villages such as Cuenca.
