Cost of Living in San Sebastian
Hey tpunks, I have a buddy of mine who is quite possibly living/working in and moving to San Sebastian, Spain. (Basque Country, no?)
Does anyone know the cost of living there compared to Spain? The EU? Is it considered an expensive town?
Thanks
CB

Its a place where the Spanish go for holiday, so its probably a little more expensive than elsewhere in the country. But Spain overall is overall cheaper than most of the rest of the EU

I spent some time tere and first of all I wanna say, your a lucky B*sterd!
San Sebastian is really nice little town really freindly and quite beauttiful!
I foound some really good deals deep in the old quater and also great places too drink. Just remeber if your having trouble finding the old quarter its located as the locals say "under Jesus"
It is a tourist town but there are always cheap places where local ppl go u just have to really look for them a little harder. Ask at the local hostel, there is a great YMCA I think it is up on the hill.
