Personal comments
Try and find a flat with a phone in it or organise a mobile phone in the country, phone boxes do not except incoming calls and using a British mobile abroad would cost a bomb.

(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important

The education is not on a very high level, but the Spanish are great , yet a little shy, so you have to be the "open" one.

budget for temporary food and accommodation whilst you're looking, it all adds up really quickly.
Take advantage of free alcohol nights and drinking from bottles on the streets to save money.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
When sharing an apartment with locals, you have the opportunity to get to know the culture and local customs. At the same time you are not too dependent on your fellow tenants.

Personal comments
Housing is not arranged by the university, although they do provide tips on where and how to find accomodation.

Personal comments
Erasmus students mainly meet at the clubs Tierra, El 66 and Casa del Loco; all of which have a pretty good mixture of (European) music. Other areas for going out include La Zona (behind the Corte Inglés) and El Rollo. Best Café: Café Zen (Calle Alfonso) and Café Antiguo (Gran Via)
