The living in spain is cheaper than in Austria, but I travelled to some places, so I spent more money. The accomodation in spain is much cheaper, but calling home is more expensive.

As an Erasmus student you spend like a madman as you are constantly moving around, phoning home and friends and going out like 6 days a week. Add up a World Cup (football) and you will definetely wind up broke but it is worth it!

Personal comments
Do NOT take Telefonica gsm pre-paid cards, they cost money like water! Take Amena instead. If you are from the Euro-zone, you don't need to open a bank account anymore, if you are from outside it, do so to save on costs to withdraw money from your home account. In Spain, always ask BEFORE paying what the amount is supposed to be otherwise you can get some lengthy discussions!

The conversion rate was not good at that time! Moreover, I seize the opportunity to travel a lot, which explains the increase in expenses.

Food (in restaurants) is a bit more expensive than in Portugal. As for the rest... I just went out more and traveled more than i did back home.
