Experience in Jaén, Spain by Jose Antonio

What do you think about living in Jaén? Do you recommend it? How is it?

Jaén is a quiet city in Andalusia, it's small, you can go everywhere walking (you can cross Jaén in one hour only).

Would I recommend Jaén? Yes, because though it's small and there isn't as much party and Erasmus atmosphere as in other cities, it has its charm and you can always be entertained, if you know how to organise yourself.

How is the student atmosphere in Jaén?

There are many students but not as much as in Granada or other bigger cities.
