The wind blows stronger and stronger and shakes the branches of the trees. The landscape adopts ocher, reddish and brownish tones that give a warm and welcoming feeling. The passers-by rustle the blanket of dry leaves that covers the city. They seek refuge in cafes. The Cantabrian Sea is greenish gray and smells different. Hundreds of birds fly through the San Sebastian sky on their flight to the south… But we stay here, in the north. And it is that San Sebastián becomes very romantic in autumn. We wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
Enjoy autumn in San Sebastian
And you? Where would you like to be?
conduct a Intensive Spanish course at Lacunza IH San Sebastián it can be an unrepeatable experience. In November you can continue to enjoy a varied cultural offer and the nature: everything is at your fingertips when you leave class. First of all, the fact that summer is over does not mean that the beach is over: there are still, for example, surf courses, if you like to practice that sport. And to continue, now is the perfect time to look back at the mountains and marvel at the fall colors.
We suggest you take small excursions -better in a group, so you meet new people- through some of the mountains and natural parks that surround the city. Among them are the famous mount Igueldo, mount Urgull and Mount Ulía. Or you can venture a little further and discover Arctic, forest full of secrets, which is located in Navarra, although it belongs to the San Sebastián City Council due to a curious story that happened at the beginning of the XNUMXth century. Visit it and you will find out.

There are usually more than 30.000 brave people who dare to travel the 20 km. road route.
