Accommodations
You will be staying in double rooms in university-style dorms. More details on amenities will be provided closer to program dates. Self-service laundry, internet and other amenities are readily available onsite.
UC Davis reserves the right to change the accommodation location. Should this be necessary, we will arrange alternative lodging. Please note that elevators, air conditioners and other modern conveniences may not be available in all locations.
Meals
At least two group meals will be included with the program. Day-to-day, you can prepare simple meals in your dorm kitchen, or find other options for meals in town. Basque Country is known for some of the best food in Spain. Many locations in the area also serve free or very affordable “pintxos” (Basque version of tapas).
Excursions and Day Trips
Tentative excursions and activities include:
- Basque Museum of the History of Medicine and Science
- Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao
- And more!
Please note: These activities and excursions are tentative and subject to change.
Get to Know Your Destination
From Lonely Planet Spain: “Framed by golden beaches and lush hillsides, San Sebastián has undeniable allure, from its venerable dining scene to its grand architecture and packed cultural calendar.”
From Lonely Planet Spain: “Staggering architecture, a venerable dining scene and stunning landscapes just outside the city centre: Bilbao is one of the great treasures of the Basque Country.”
Study Abroad Advisory of Student Risk
Participation in this UC Davis Study Abroad program requires travel to and extended living in a foreign location(s) abroad. UC Davis Study Abroad endeavors to reduce and mitigate risk wherever possible. However, the environments and risks associated with living in these locations are substantially different than those found during a regular course of study at UC Davis. All participants must download and review the following information prior to departure. Any questions should be directed to the Program Coordinator.
