Personal spending habits
In my opinion, Denmark is a little bit more expensive than Spain, but not so much. Also considering that Aalborg is not a big city, Copenhagen would have been more expensive for sure.

The education system is pretty different than the spanish one. I needed to get use to work on team in projects with people from different countries and that was challenge. I was not ready before going there.

Personal recommendation
This University has a very good programme in Telecommunications and teachers are very helpful in all questions you have. If you have the chance of going there try to take advantage of it and work a lot. You will meet a lot of nice people from different countries and you will enjoy one of the most enriching experiences in your live.
