How much does it cost to live in Lleida?

Around €300/month (rent + bills/expenses + food).

Was it difficult to find accommodation in Lleida? Can you give any piece of advice?

No. There are many webpages offering flats for students.

I recommend to rent a private flat because if you rent one through an estate agency, it's more expensive.

What about national food? What are your favourite dishes?

Very good. One of the most characteristic dishes is 'cassolada' (a stew made out of potatoes and vegetables with pork fat and ribs). Despite Lleida is the only province of all Catalonia without coast, many of its fish dishes come from river fishing.

What places do you recommend to visit in Lleida?

'La Seu Villa', 'El Castell de Lleida', the Cathedral, 'Els Camps Elisis', 'La Mitjana', the promenade, and the main square.
