Personal comments:
there are always ways to earn a few extra euros. teaching english or just doing intercambios is a good way. i did't really experience any financial surprises. if you budget, you'll survive. try to live with out american products, experience spain for their food as well. buying spanish alternatives to name brands saves $!

Personal comments:
Banks close at 2 for siesta and do not open again. If you pay your rent in cash, be aware that you can't withdraw more than $350/day so prepare in advance. Do not bring US dollars and do not take out large amounts of cash at once (unless for rent) the exchange rate is ALWAYS changing and its best to just use your check card to get the most up to date rate. Visa is accepted EVERYWHERE. Checks?? No. Just bring a visa check card and you'll be fine. SOme banks don't work though...Caja Madrid Caixa are strange and don't always accept US ATM cards. Deutch Banc and Banco Popular are always the best bets This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
