Hi,
Ive been given a job working in a language school in Donostia but it doesnt pay all that much - about 600 euros a month and Im worried that I wont be able to afford to live in the city. Does anyone know how to find cheap accomodation there? Or would it be better to live in a nearby village?
Also, a friend of mine has got a job in Vitoria. We were hoping to get a flat together, but it seems like the public transport between the two cities is expensive and slow, so if anyone knows of a village thats roughly the same distance between the two cities, that would help a lot! Or, would it be easy for my friend to find a job in Donostia working in a tourist office or a bar or something??
Sorry about the bombardment of questions! Thanks/ Gracias/ Eskerrik asko!

I think sharing a flat would be the best choice for you. You can find a room in a shared flat for approximately 250€/month. Accomodation in any nearby village is a bit cheaper but it´s more difficult to find people to share the flat with. I don´t think living in an area between Donostia and Vitoria will be a good idea...there isn´t a village which well enough linked for that and if so, you´d spend too much money in public transport. Maybe he can find a job in Donostia and stay there together. There are jobs available in bars at Donostia, i don´t think it will be difficult for him to find a job.
