Personal comments
first of all I recognize that italian and spanish are really similar so it was really easy to get a good level of knowledge. than in an erasmus experience wasn't so easy to know spanish people and I spent more of my time in Madrid with other erasmus student more from Finland and France. I choose to don't stay with italian student.
