🌍 Welcome to Santander, Erasmus Students! 🇪🇸
Get ready for an unforgettable experience! Santander is the perfect blend of natural beauty, culture and hospitality. To ensure you have a smooth landing, at Academia Unilang we have prepared this essential guide with everything you need to know.
🚌 Mobility: How to get around the city
Getting around Santander is easy and efficient. Here are your options:
Public Transport (TUS): The bus system connects the entire city.
Tip: Buy your travel card at tobacconists or newsagents to travel more economically.
Tusbic: The municipal bicycle service. It is ideal for short trips and for enjoying the incredible views of the seafront.
🌦️ Adapting to local life
The climate: Santander is known for its green colour, and that is due to the rain.
Essential: Always have an umbrella handy! But don't worry, when the sun comes out, the city shines like no other.
Gastronomy: You have to try the sobaos pasiegos (sponge cakes), the quesada (cheese cake) and, of course, the famous tortilla pinchos (tapas) on the terraces in the city centre.
Culture: Don't miss the Centro Botín (contemporary art) or the iconic Palacio de la Magdalena.
💡 Practical tips for your stay
Accommodation: Start looking now! The most common options are shared flats, student residences or living with host families.
Language: Although the young community speaks English, living here is a golden opportunity to master Spanish.
Community: Join social media groups and the ESN (Erasmus Student Network) to make friends and participate in events from day one.
