Excellent podcast this time. I look forward to the next one. And I really must get down to Andalucia before too long…

Funny you should mention San Sebastian as the #1 place to be. I was just visiting there (well Irun) and an English teacher there was telling me that the prices of the pisos are very expensive and things are too expensive. But I agree it’s a a beautiful area.

Hi Ben, this was a very useful podcast but i want to get your advice about living in san sebastian.. I have been accepted at the university of pais vasco in san sebastian but i am a little worried about living there as i don’t like bad weather (cold and rain) so is this city really worth to live in for 2 years or will i get bored easily… I have been also accepted at university of barcelona but i have been in barcelona many times and i love this city….what is your advice to me?

Well, you will have to put up with a lot of rain, but I would LOVE to live in SS for 2 years. There is plenty of social life, wonderful countryside all round, amazing food… so you just have to decide about putting up with that rain!
