Tons of fun in Bilbao

July 22, 2018by: Peter Shack - United KingdomProgram: Surf-Spanish Experience in Spain

I spent a month in Bilbao in order to improve my Spanish, but I learned so much more than that! All of the students at Instituto Hemingway were so welcoming, passionate, and intelligent. I made so many close friends; I was not expecting my social experience to be so fulfilling and exciting! I learnt to surf in just 10 hours!! You go to beaches by metro (clean, safe and reliable) I absolutely fell in love with the city-- Bilbao is so beautiful, safe, historical, and accepting. I cannot wait to return in the future! This experience was unforgettable, and I am so glad that I decided to go to Bilbao!
