What our students said about Santiago de Compostela

Beautiful city with a friendly atmosphere. Nice people, good food and overall affordable. Just be aware that it could take a while before getting used to their rhythm of living! The vegetation is really verdant. Expect some rainy days!

3.0Patrice France

Historical center: tourism, tourism, tourism! But away from there: nice! I discovered part of the other side too: cinema, bookshops, cafes, restaurants, etc.

5.0Frank Belgium

It's a very special city, full of tourists and pilgrims. Different cultures, different languages, sociable people

5.0Isabella Italy

It's a great place. Beautiful buildings, streets and parks. Lots of history and a thriving bar culture.

Friendly and personable. Although I did not qualify for the class being offered during my stay in Santiago, they offered the alternative of having one on one instruction within my budget. I was completely satisfied.
I hope to be back.
