take as much money with you as you can, you will never ever have a time like that again in your life! do everything you can to know that country, travel in other cities, go to all the museums an sightseeing-spots, shop´til you drop and eat more than only bread and "nutella"!

Yes. You should have a bank- account with Deutsche Bank to save the transfer fees you pay, if you withdraw money from a spanish bank. It's better to use internet, then the phone to call. FOr example: Skype

A cost-saving tip is do your groceries in the cheaper supermarkets, for example the Carrefour. (not the Corte Ingles)
