Local supermarkets and restaurants (partuicualrly the tapas bars) tend to be cheaper than at home. Calling home is obviously more expensive but you should buy a Spanish SIM card to communicate with friends in Spain. Housing is generally the same or cheaper. There is a lot going on at night, especially for Erasmus students (more or less from Tuesday - Saturday) but on the plus side alcohol tends to be much cheaper than at home.
