Personal spending habits
Prices in the supermarket were even lower than in Spain in some products. I used a lot my mobile but I didnt spend more than 20 e per months,Meteor was the company I used there cause it has really good rates.
About housing, I spent 275 e per month for a shared room....terrible!
Nightlife was a bit more expensive than in Spain, but there are no problems if u know where to go each day.
