Experience in Teruel, Spain, by Clara

What is it like to live in Teruel? Would you recommend it? How is it?

Living in Teruel is an ode to tranquility and above all, time.

If you don't want to experience running out of time and not having enough time to do everything you'd planned, then this is your city.

But obviously, like everywhere, it has its negative aspects. It's a small city, so there isn't a huge offer of leisure activities. There are some really good places, but there isn't a huge variety.

What is the student lifestyle like in Teruel?

The student atmosphere in Teruel is good. From Thursdays to Sundays you can go out anywhere you want, always. Also, during the months of September-October, and also May-June there are a variety of street festivals in the city... I really recommend these!

If you have the opportunity, I invite you to come and get to know the festivals in the surrounding towns.

How much does it cost to live in Teruel?

To me, it seems cheap to live in Teruel.

The rented flats aren't highly priced. When it comes to buying food, the supermarkets are just like any other supermarket in the country.

Entertainment is cheap, and whatever activity that you want to do would also be cheap.

Was it difficult to find your accommodation in Teruel?

Do you have any advice?

Finding accommodation in Teruel is easy.

There's a hall of residence with a good atmosphere, which is also more expensive. On the other hand there are student flats that have a low price.

Franagans and Millenium to have a drink after food, and to finish the night, the "Zone".
