How much does it cost to live one year in Barcelona?

On average, how much does it cost to live in Madrid or Barcelona per year?

  • I'd like to spend a year in either city and wanted to know how much it would cost to live comfortably but also reasonably. I'm 21 so naturally I'd like to live in or close ...show more

  • Answer:

    i believe madrid is cheaper to live in but im not sure...i know that to live in madrid the rent alone can cost you 700-800 euros/month. its very very expensive. you can find places to eat around 10 euros per person. the shopping is expensive compared to the states...like a t shirt can cost 30 euros... internet can cost up to 50 euros a month with Telefonica. if the place you plan to live doesnt have a phone line you'll have to get it with them before you can change telephone companies. electricity has gone up. i live with my bf in a 2 bedroom apartment and we spend about 150 euros on water and electricity. if you wanted to come to spain to live like a spanish person i wouldnt go to the city...i live in a rural town...its cheap the rent is 300 euros a month... hope it helps.

What do you plan to DO while you are living there? I mean, great idea and all! Really great places to live. (I'd go for Madrid, personally, you should see how daunting Barcelona is in area!) But you realize that there are NO jobs to be had in Spain, and that an American (again, making that assumption) can't get a visa these days. What are you planning on doing while you are there?
