I found that I was a lot richer in Spain than at home! Things were about a third cheaper there and I ate the same amount of food so I spent less. The nightlife was fantastic so I was going out a lot more than at home, and I felt the urge to see different parts of Spain so also spent more on travel. The telephone was cheaper but I made less calls than at home.

Same as you would at home, try to have a budget. Use the bus to the airport instead of taxis, use the metro instead of taxis; buy a 10 trip metro ticket instead of 10 singles. Take taxis with friends - good anyway for safety.
Only difference is travel; Longer distances and in Holland I heva a free-travelcard for being a student.

Everything is cheaper in Spain but while abroad I took the opportunity to explore the country and so spent more in travel than I would at home.

Open a Spanish bank account and transfer money this way. It is much cheaper and easier than withdrawing money from cash machines all the time.

La experiencia fue intensa debido a la alta afluencia de personas durante el horario laboral, para hacer todo tipo de operaciones, desde depósitos y retiros hasta asesoría de los productos bancarios.
Puesto donde te curtes de cara al público debido a que cada día es diferente con personas con diferentes situaciones, muchas de ellas problemáticas en cuanto impagos, facturas, etc.
Una buena experiencia
Trabajé con otra profesora de español para impartir las clases, principalmente online por el momento de la pandemia y también contribuí a realizar materiales para los distintos niveles de aprendizaje.
