SCUBA DIVING. Great spots for scuba diving and snorkelling include the capes of Matxitxako, Villano and Ogono and the Gipuzkoa and Igeldo areas. There are a number of dive shops in San Sebastián where you can hire equipment and take open water diving courses.

MOUNTAIN BIKING. The Basque Country is a place of green mountains and excursions, whether on foot or atop a mountain bike, are one of the great local pleasures. Follow the coloured indications and set off for a short hike along the nearby mountain trails. For those preferring the heights, the highest summit in the Basque country is Aitxuri, 1551 m, on the Aizkorri massif.

CLIMBING AND SKIING. San Sebastián is close to the Pyrenees, the mountain range that acts as the natural boundary between Spain and France. In winter you can go skiing here and the school arranges trips to nearby ski resorts that include all the necessary material. Students at the school also have the opportunity to join the Club de Montaña, which offers climbing/hiking activities every week.

OTHER SPORTS. The school organizes sport activities such as football and volleyball games, horse-rides, bike rides and excursions to the mountains. If you feel like going to the gym, The Mundáiz Gym, next to the school, offers our students preferential rates. Members of the Municipal Sports Council are able to take part in 20 different sports ranking from surfing, canoeing or sailing to tennis, hang-gliding or climbing.
