I didn't want/need to work.

Personal spending habits:
you won't believe how cheap it is compared to England!! You won't have to pass on a night out coz' you are broke...! It's fiesta time every day and at the end of the week you will still have some change in your wallet! Just make sure you have the energy to copy with that...Spanish people are real party animals:-) And for the same price of a studioflat youi can get a 4bedroom house with a beautiful and sunny garden!...just chill out in the cheap way!
