Personal spending habits
Barcelona is one of the most expensive Spanish cities, but still quite cheap in comparison to places like US, UK, Scandinavia, Switzerland, ... Basically I spent more money because I went out much more than at home!

HousingType of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It's interesting to share a place with people of an other nationality, you can learn an other culture, language... and you have also your freedom and space what you maybe not have in a familiy

You have to make an effort to get to know the locals, they are both intiminated and intriged by our presence. And make sure you put some effort into it, it is well worth it.

well,i guess it was ok. at times,when the locals speak fast, then i will have to tell them to slow down or maybe if i don´t understand what they said, will try to ask them to repeat or explain it in another way.
