I stayed in an apartment right by the sea (even if I didn’t have the full view 😄), which was super convenient for surfing, I could catch waves anytime! I lived alone, which gave me great independence, and it was only 15 minutes by bike from the university, making it really easy to get to class. Overall, it was a comfortable and practical place to stay while enjoying everything the area has to offer.
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
The social life in San Sebastian is really vibrant there’s always something to do! From nightlife to outdoor activities like hiking and surfing, I never ran out of options. The only challenge I faced was connecting with the local Basque students, who can be quite reserved at first. I ended up socializing mostly with other Erasmus students, which was still a lot of fun and a great way to meet people from all over the world. Overall, the city has a lot to offer for students looking to enjoy both cultural experiences and an active lifestyle.
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
never choose “Control de Gestion” I still have no idea what we were actually doing in that class
Do you have some tips?
I completed a double degree at Deusto Business School, and overall it was an enriching experience. The city and university offer a vibrant social life and plenty of activities, from surfing to hiking and nightlife. However, I found the administrative side a bit complicated. Being a double degree student, I was sometimes caught in between categories not fully considered a local student, nor a typical Erasmus which occasionally made it hard to receive the right information or support. Despite this, the experience was valuable, and I learned a lot academically and personally.
Best trips to do?
Visiting the Bardenas Reales was an unforgettable experience! This semi-desert landscape in Navarre feels like another planet, with its dramatic rock formations, canyons, and wide-open plateaus. 🌵 Hiking there was amazing the scenery is constantly changing, and every turn reveals something new and unexpected. It’s also perfect for photography, exploring nature, and simply disconnecting from the city. The drive from San Sebastián is a bit long (~2.5–3 hours), but absolutely worth it for a day trip. Just make sure to bring water, sun protection, and comfortable shoes, because it can get hot and the terrain is rugged.
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in San Sebastian?
It is raining a lot, bring your umbrella
