First thing I can say is that it is going to be rough and tough the first weeks. You are going to miss home, friends and family; understanding people will be hard at times, making yourself understandable will probably be even harder. But now worries, as soon as you get a grip on the new language, when you have gotten to know new people and you are used to your knew environment you won't feel like going back home.

at the beginnig it was a great chaos to cope with the spanisch language, because my language skills have been a catastrophe. at my first day i had to find a accomodation by my own, i had to phone for finding one. it was horrible, because on the phone it is so much more difficult to speak a language you can´t really speak. but surprisingly it was much easier to handle with everything than i thought. at the end you can manage nearly everything. the courses and clases at university were surprisingly easier to understand tahn i thought and i think the exams have been easier than in germany, too. furthermore, as an erasmus student, you always can speak english, even in spain. so you don´t have to worry about going to spain for studying. unfortunately there have been so many other german students, so most of the time i spoke german, which didn´t really help to improve my spanisch knowledges.

it was pretty easy to learn spanish for me as I already knew french and english. Many words are just the same or similar in all those languages. Besides, spanish language is easier than french or german.

There are not many Erasmus students. It's easy to get to know people from Pamplona. This encourages to learn spanish.
