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!

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.
