It is very centrally located, at a 2-minute walk from the historic district of the city and very close to all the major monuments.

Social Programme

Santiago de Compostela enjoys a cooler and more humid climate than the rest of Spain, which can be a great relief especially in the scorching heat of the summer months. Its climate aside, this region is the sunniest of all northern Spain. The Galician region is particularly suitable for horse-riding, walks and mountaineering. Apart from the language courses Iria Flavia regularly organises activities such as:

  • Tapas tours
  • Concerts and cultural events
  • Film showings
  • Cookery workshops
  • Exchange programmes with Spanish students(intercambios)

Because of its proximity to this region, Portugal is also a favourite destination for excursions.

The accommodation in a shared apartment gives you the possibility to live with 4-6 international students from the language school. You can choose to stay in a double or single room, although double rooms are only available for students traveling together. You will have acces to a washing machine and a fully equipped kitchen. Cleaning service once a week in common areas is provided but students must clean their own bedrooms. Bed linen and towels are provided.

Prices for a shared apartment are on request. Don't hesitate to contact us. 

Host family

Living with a Spanish host family in Spain will enable the student to see and understand many aspects of the Spanish lifestyle enabling them to obtain a better knowledge of Spanish culture, traditions, etc. Many host families have been chosen for these purpose in order to make the stay of our students as pleasant as possible. They will be treated as part of the family. Even though Santiago de Compostela is a relatively big city, the school will always try to accommodate students within a 20/30 minute radius of the school.

Residence

The residence is very centrally located, about 10-15 minutes walking to the school. It is composed of different flats, each with a capacity for 4 to 7 students. The flats consists of single and double rooms, shared bathrooms and kitchen. The rooms are equipped with a desk, wardrobe, TV and Internet connection. Daily cleaning service is provided, as well as towels and bed linen. You can choose to book half or full board option. Breakfast is prepared by the students themselves in the residence kitchen (the residence provides the ingredients: milk, coffee, bread and butter...). Lunch and dinner are cooked and served to the students in the residence's dining room.
