Accomodation

The resource with the most options for housing is a website called Idealista. Idealista lists all of the available apartments in your area, allowing you to search for housing in specific neighborhoods and at a particular price point. Idealista may offer many options, but if you don’t have a Spanish phone number, landowners may not respond to your calls/requests for viewings. Fotocasa is another website that is similar to Idealista. Again, there may be issues getting viewings through Fotocasa.

Other helpful resources are the Erasmus Facebook and WhatsApp groups. Many Erasmus students are also looking for apartments, and they will post listings/roommate requests in these groups. Be aware, when you arrive in September, most of the Erasmus students will have already found apartments. Therefore, it may be more helpful to reach out to other auxiliaries about apartments.

Some auxiliaries use a local inmobiliaria service to find apartments. This service can be helpful, but you will have to pay an agency fee of 500 euros or more. If these avenues don’t work, reach out to teachers at Estuaria. Teachers at IES Estuaria have connections in the community and will try to help you find a place to live!

We recommend looking for apartments in Isla Chica, Las Torres-Guadalupe, Center, or Molino de la Vega.

IES Estuaria is located in Isla Chica, and there are many affordable apartments in the neighborhood. In fact, many auxiliaries, regardless of where their school is located, choose to live in Isla Chica.

The Center is a little more expensive (still affordable) but offers many shops and bars, and it is where most of the cultural events in Huelva are held. Las Torres-Guadalupe is a neighborhood between Isla Chica and the Center. Molino de la Vega is about a 30-minute walk from Estuaria. However, there are buses that you can take from this neighborhood to school.
