Experience in Lleida, Spain by Maria

What is it like to live in Lleida? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

It's interesting, very different from the place I come from (Andalucia), It's less sunny, but a nice city to live, not too small, but not too big as well (like 150 000 inhabitants).
The city is well builded in the way it is like round, so if you want to get from one side to another it won't take you long.

What is the student lifestyle like in Lleida?

Well, it depends of the degree you chose, of course, but generally it's ok, not really expensive, not really hard if you study a bit, and there are many places to go if you want party.

How much does it cost to live in Lleida?

It can vary from 100 € until 500 €, it will always depend on how you like to live.

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Lleida? Is there any advice you can give?

No, it is easy. There are many students there, so you should just talk to a few in order to rent a flat.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

I think it is similar to the rest of Spain, it has its typical catalan dishes, but it's quite nice in fact, I recommend you to try the "panellets".

Is the nightlife good in Lleida? Where is good to go?

It's almost perfect, if you want to go party in a "relaxed" way, you must go to a couple of streets where most of the pubs are, but if you want hard crazy party instead, then go to Larida.
