Yes. San Sebastián is in the Basque Country, where both Spanish and Basque are part of local life, but students can still learn and practise Spanish every day.

Spanish is widely used in daily situations such as cafés, shops, restaurants, cultural activities and student life. In class, lessons are taught in Spanish, so students follow a full Spanish immersion approach while also experiencing the unique culture of the Basque Country.

For many students, this combination makes San Sebastián especially interesting: they improve their Spanish while discovering a region with its own language, traditions, food culture and identity.

Linguaschools San Sebastián is mainly suited to adult learners and young adults who want to study Spanish in a personal, international school environment in a smaller coastal city.

They include short-stay language travellers, longer-stay students, exam-preparation students, active students, surf students and students who want to combine Spanish lessons with local culture, food, beach life and outdoor activities.

Some students choose San Sebastián for a short Spanish course by the sea, while others stay longer to improve their Spanish for study, work, travel or everyday life in Spain.
