Live in Santiago de Compostela!
Santiago de Compostela, is one of the cultural capitals of Europe; it is the final destination of the “Camino de Santiago”, which was recognized as the “First cultural route” by the Council of Europe. This culturally rich city attracts tourists and more than 400,000 pilgrims per year. This is a relatively small medieval city, well-communicated with the rest of Europe and very safe. The University is centrally located and students will be able to walk to restaurant and main touristic attractions.
