In Spain everything is cheap but nothing is free (apart from tapas) so mobile phone offers are lacking. I was charged about 15% for 2 months everytime I topped up my phone. I spent more on travel because I travelled more. But it was cheaper than travelling in the UK.

At home I´m not used to go out that many. In a city like Granada it´s very difficult to ignore the hundreds of bars.
