An ERASMUS grant

I didn't want/need to work
Personal spending habits
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.

Personal comments
Murcia is much cheaper than larger cities such as Madrid or Barcelona. Supermarkets such as Mercadona and Dia offer the best value. Apartments around the university tend to be more expensive than those further from the Campus but are generally not as modern/comfortable.

More on travelling because I wanted to travel arround Spain to see as much as I could and for the fiestas etc. More on the telephone because I was phoning from abroad and inevitably this was more expensive.
